John Cassavetes: Behind the Scenes

Author Ray Carney in Person

Join us for an evening’s exploration of the man behind the movies and the process by which the artist’s pioneering independent works were made. Ray Carney, Professor of Film and American Studies at Boston University and author of The Films of John Cassavetes and the forthcoming Cassavetes on Cassavetes, will screen and discuss a selection of rare videos from his personal collection in which Cassavetes talks about his life and films and is shown working with actors in rehearsal.
