John Carpenter: Lost Themes
- 8PM
With Brooke Gladstone
Boasting “one of the most consistent and coherent bodies of work in modern cinema” (Kent Jones, Film Comment), genre auteur John Carpenter has been making skin crawl and movie lovers scream since the 1970s, when his blockbuster Halloween became one of the most profitable independent films ever made. Carpenter, who has composed the score to nearly all his films, will celebrate the upcoming release of his album Lost Themes—available on Sacred Bones Records on February 3—as he joins NPR host Brooke Gladstone (On the Media) for a rare discussion of his legendary work in film and music.
Due to an illness, Carpenter is unable to travel. He is expected to recover fully. We apologize for any inconvenience. We are working to reschedule this program. Please check here, or on Twitter (@BAM_Brooklyn) and Facebook, for additional updates.
In conjunction with his first solo album, BAM presents a tribute to the legendary director with a full-career film retrospective and a selection of his favorite film scores.
John Carpenter is the director of Halloween, The Thing, Starman, and many other films.
Brooke Gladstone is the host and managing editor of NPR’s On the Media.
