LILY TOMLIN AND JANE WAGNER

TWO FREE WOMEN—LILY TOMLIN AND JANE WAGNER brings together the film and television work of these partners in life and work.

The Film at Lincoln Center retrospective was organized by film programmer and Light Industry co-founder Thomas Beard, and writer Hilton Als—who will join Tomlin and Wagner in conversation on Saturday. Followed their talk, Tomlin will introduce a screening of the 4K restoration of Robert Altman’s NASHVILLE.

Other highlights include rare presentations of the telefilm J.T.—written by Wagner—and the documentary LILY TOMLIN (1986), directed by Nick Broomfield and Joan Churchill. There are multiple free screenings of the program TOMLIN AND WAGNER—WORKS FOR TELEVISION in the Amphitheater, and Paul Weitz’s 2015 film GRANDMA will close out the series.

VELVET GOLDMINE

David Bowie wouldn’t give Todd Haynes permission to use any of his Ziggy Stardust-era songs, planning to keep them for a stage-screen project of his own—which never came to pass. So Haynes turned to Bryan Ferry, and the soundtrack for Haynes fabulous glitter rock epic VELVET GOLDMINE was born. (Songs by Roxy Music were covered by Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood.)

The film—starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Ewan McGregor (as stand-ins for Bowie and Iggy Pop), Toni Collette, Christian Bale, and Eddy Izzard—screens this week at Lincoln Center, as part of a free double-bill with Alex Ross Perry’s HER SMELL.

FREDERICK WISEMAN IN CONVERSATION

“I like to think I know what works for me… I’ve learned to be quite hard on the material… Editing is always a manic-depressive special—moments when you overestimate what you have and moments when you underestimate, but neither is usually true.” — Frederick Wiseman*

Wiseman—one of our greatest documentarians—will talk about his new film MONROVIA, INDIANA this week at the 56th New York Film Festival.

The following weekend Wiseman will join Richard Brody (author of Cinema is Everything: The Working Life of Jean-Luc Godard) in conversation at The New Yorker Festival.
