  • Directed By: Josephine Decker Written By: Sarah Gubbins Starring: Elisabeth Moss, Odessa Young, Michael Stuhlbarg, Logan Lerman
    SHIRLEY Directed by: Josephine Decker Written by: Sarah Gubbins Starring: Elisabeth Moss, Odessa Young, Michael Stuhlbarg, Logan Lerman Running Time: 107 Minutes CORNERSTONE FILMS CONTACTS: Publicity: Anna Bohlin/ [email protected] Marketing: Joanne Michael/ [email protected] SYNPOSIS Fred and Rose move to a small Vermont college town in pursuit of a job for Fred as an assistant professor of literature. The young couple receives an offer for free room and board from professor Stanley Hyman, as long as Rose agrees to spend time cleaning up the home and looking after his wife, acclaimed horror author Shirley Jackson. At first Fred and Rose detest the rocky household of the eccentric couple, but they eventually establish deep bonds with their counterparts, which will test the limits of their young love. Director Josephine Decker makes an exciting return with a biographical portrait brought alive with energy and imagination, based on a novel by Susan Merrill and screenplay by Sarah Gubbins. Shirley is a fresh take on the period drama, full of contemporary intrigue and dynamic in style. It features a stellar lead cast—Elisabeth Moss, Michael Stuhlbarg, Odessa Young, and Logan Lerman—who all return to the Festival to give another memorable performance. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT Shirley Jackson was a wildly unorthodox human and storyteller. Encountering her work was like finding a map towards becoming the kind of artist I would like to be. Daring. Intimate. Structured yet dreamlike. Shirley’s work rides on the skin between imagined and real, seducing with its oddness and humble cracks until you can’t tell if you’re looking up the stairwell or into your own mouth.

Stephen Greco reveals the inspirations and ambitions behind this long‐running cultural gift to New York City. Enjoying open‐air music with your neighbors is as old as civilization itself. New York leaders doubtless had this in mind back in the 19th century when, as part of a broader quality‐of‐life agenda, they endowed their growing metropolis with masses of magnificent public parks. These were places where culture and nature could come together, where urbanites could experience the richest kind of “cultural citizenship.” As such, the parks make a perfect setting for a New York cultural treasure that is, in fact, 15 years older than Central Park itself — the New York Philharmonic, which this July continues its tradition of playing free concerts throughout the boroughs of New York City. “I’ve always wanted the Orchestra to have a meaningful connection to the city,” says Philharmonic Music Director Alan Gilbert, a native New Yorker. “I want it to be a source of civic pride, to be a resource for the city, to be an obvious expression of what is great about the city.” Alan Gilbert and the New York Philharmonic in Central Park on July 14, This year’s return of the Philharmonic’s Concerts in the Parks 2009 features five free outdoor concerts, presented in some of the city’s photo by Chris Lee loveliest locales.
