The Clark + Images Cinema Film Series: New Hollywood Auteurs-The Godfather
Date/Time
Location
The Clark Art Institute (225 South Street, Williamstown, MA 01267, Williamstown MA)
The Clark partners with Images Cinema to present a film series that captures the explosion of creativity, critical acclaim, and box office success that Hollywood directors found after the fall of the studio system.
The series continues with The Godfather (1972). The Godfather was originally envisioned by Paramount as a low-budget quickie. Instead director Francis Ford Coppola fought for a period setting, to shoot in New York, and for a bigger budget. Coppola was part of the new realistic movement toward casting New York theater and TV-trained actors. (Run time: 2 hours, 55 minutes)
Free. Accessible seats available; for information, call 413 458 0524.
