MEDIA ALERT BAMcinématek presents Fog City Maverick: The Films of John Korty, Feb 24—26 Korty in person! Co-presented by Cinema Conservancy “A man of taste, intelligence, and high aspirations who refuses to make conventional films.”—The New York Times The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAM Rose Cinemas and BAMcinématek. Brooklyn, NY/Jan 21, 2015—From Tuesday, February 24 through Thursday, February 26, BAMcinématek presents Fog City Maverick: The Films of John Korty, a three-day tribute to one of American independent cinema’s most distinctive, unsung voices. The Oscar- and Emmy-winning San Francisco director/animator has quietly carved out a one-of-a-kind career over the past five decades. Praised by Pauline Kael as one of the most “gifted, intelligent men outside the industry… attempting to make inexpensive feature-films as honestly and independently as they can,” Korty has forgone mainstream Hollywood ambitions despite his early Bay Area associations with George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola. Instead he chose to pursue uncompromisingly original, refreshingly offbeat indie projects across narrative, documentary, animation, and television that reflect his boundless visual imagination and humanistic outlook. Opening the series on Tuesday, February 24 is an exceedingly rare 35mm screening of the eye- popping cult animation masterpiece Twice Upon A Time (1983), barely seen on the big screen in New York since its tragically limited original release. Other highlights include Funnyman (1967— Feb 25), a stop-motion animation/live-action hybrid featuring legendary San Francisco comedy troupe the Committee; Korty’s feature debut The Crazy-Quilt (1966—Feb 25), part of the 1979 New York Film Festival’s seminal American Independents survey alongside classics The Cool World, Badlands, Sweet Sweetback’s Badasssss Song, and Northern Lights; and Korty’s Academy Award-winning documentary, Who Are the DeBolts? And Where Did They Get Nineteen Kids? (1977—Feb 26). The series will also showcase some of Korty’s short films, including Imogen Cunningham, Photographer (1969—Feb 26), an intimate portrait of the free-spirited artist, and the John Updike adaptation The Music School (1974—Feb 26). Korty will appear in person at BAMcinématek throughout the series.

The Making of the Graduate
2/12/2018 The Making of "The Graduate" | Vanity Fair F R O M T H E M A G A Z I N E Here’s to You, Mr. Nichols: The Making of The Graduate Almost from the start, Mike Nichols knew that Anne Bancroft should play the seductive Mrs. Robinson. But the young film director surprised himself, as well as everyone else, with his choice for The Graduate’s misfit hero, Benjamin Braddock: not Robert Redford, who’d wanted the role, but a little-known Jewish stage actor, Dustin Hoffman. From producer Lawrence Turman’s $1,000 option of a minor novel in 1964 to the movie’s out-of-left- field triumph three years later, Sam Kashner recalls a breakout film that literally changed the face of Hollywood. by S A M K A S H N E R M A R C H 2 0 0 8 https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2008/03/graduate200803 1/23 2/12/2018 The Making of "The Graduate" | Vanity Fair Dustin Hoffman and Anne Bancroft in a publicity still for The Graduate.
