Actor and stage director Austin Pendleton will host a screening of the short Starring Austin Pendleton by filmmakers Gene Gallerano and David H. Holmes about his life and career, a film that also features many of Pendleton’s A-list peers discussing his vast influence and what it means to be an original in a celebrity-obsessed world. The film includes interviews with Meryl Streep, Natalie Portman, Olympia Dukakis, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, among others.
Following the screening, Austin Pendleton will participate in a Q&A.
