Following the screening of Alan Schneider's Film and Ross Lipman’s Notfilm, there will be an audience Q&A with Lipman, as well as a Skype interview with actor James Karen, who appears in both Film and Notfilm.

Ross Lipman is a filmmaker, restorationist, and writer. His writing has appeared in publications like Artforum and Sight and Sound, as well as academic books and journals. In his film restoration work, he has worked with the Bruce Conner Family Trust and at the UCLA Film & Television Archive; he has also earned Anthology Film Archives’ Preservation Honors and three National Society of Film Critics’ Heritage Awards.

James Karen’s work as an actor has spanned stage (including the original Broadway production of Streetcar Named Desire), television, and films. Some of his film credits include All the President’s Men, The China Syndrome, Poltergeist, Wall Street, The Pursuit of Happyness, Return of the Living Dead, and Mulholland Drive. To New Yorkers, his face is most familiar as that of television’s “The Pathmark Man.”
