REMAKE
REMAKE, the latest film from legendary documentarian Ross McElwee, begins its theatrical run at New York City’s Film Forum tomorrow! REMAKE is screening alongside a new 4K restoration of SHERMAN’S MARCH, Ross’s delightful, groundbreaking documentary.
Ross is in town to discuss both films. Last night, This American Life host Ira Glass moderated the Q&A of a sold out screening of SHERMAN’S MARCH. Tonight, director Mira Nair hosts a pre-screening conversation with Ross. This weekend, filmmakers Kirsten Johnson and Yance Ford will moderate Q&As after REMAKE.
