SERIES DESCRIPTION

BAMcinématek presents a tribute to filmmaker and activist Robert Redford. One of Hollywood’s most recognizable leading men and a talented director, Redford has also emerged as an impassioned advocate for environmental issues and, as founder of the Sundance Film Festival, an important champion of independent cinema.

REDFORD - FILM AND CONVERSATION

On Sun, Sep 13, BAMcinematek presents Redford: Film & Conversation, four simultaneous screenings of Robert Redford classics followed by a panel discussion with Redford and special guests in the BAM Harvey Theater at 6pm.

Films to be screened:

Out of Africa

A sweeping romance that recounts the experiences of European colonists in Kenya during the early 1900s. More

The Natural

A middle-aged baseball rookie leads a losing 1930s baseball team to victory with a magical talent and a bat forged from a lightning struck tree. More

The Electric Horseman

A washed up rodeo star and corporate shill who, disillusioned with his life, steals a horse during a publicity stunt and heads into the desert to release it into the wild. More

The Way We Were

Redford and Streisand are a pair of star-crossed lovers who meet in college: she’s a Marxist Jew and he’s a WASP-y jock with a knack for writing. More
