We’re pleased to announce Tilda Swindon, Pedro Almodóvar, Marielle Heller, and John Waters as the first round of guest speakers for our 50th Anniversary Gala on Monday, April 29, 2019 in Alice Tully Hall! Reflecting and building upon the organization’s half-century introducing New York audiences to many of the industry’s most acclaimed and important filmmakers, the Gala will honor the Film Society’s legendary past and vibrant present, and look ahead as we extend our commitment to the film community. Reserve tickets at filmlinc.org/50th. Almodóvar, Heller, Swinton, and Waters, along with additional guest speakers to be announced, will tell the story of the Film Society of Lincoln Center’s semi-centennial alongside a collection of interviews and archival footage, photographs, and film clips that will reflect upon the organization and its role in New York City film culture. In honoring the past, the evening will celebrate a film community that is helping to shape the future of our art form. The Gala is the most important fundraising event of the Film Society’s landmark anniversary year, and all proceeds will benefit the organization in its mission to support the art and craft of cinema. #FilmLivesHere #film50
