New Doc, Screenings Celebrate Clint Eastwood
This entry was posted on 5/18/2008 12:25 AM and is filed under Screenings.
A new feature-length documentary and a hearty helping of double-feature retrospective screenings celebrate Hollywood legend
Clint Eastwood's life in film June 5 through 11 at the
Aero Theatre
in Santa Monica. Using the post-production of
Eastwood's World War II diptych as a springboard, director Michael Henry Wilson's
Clint Eastwood: A Life in Film engages the notoriously reticent multi-hyphenate in
a surprisingly easygoing and intimate dialogue about art and life, illuminating his human side as well as his untamed creativity. In addition to obvious fare like 1971's
Dirty Harry,
High Plains Drifter and the Oscar-winning
Unforgiven, meanwhile, other films screening during the Aero's week-long retrospective include
The Beguiled,
A Perfect World,
Breezy and
Honkytonk Man. Wilson and editor Joel Cox will also appear in person at select screenings for Q&A sessions about their work.
The
Aero Theatre
is located at 1328 Montana Avenue in Santa Monica
. Tickets for its screenings, as well as other special events, are available through
Fandango, but for 24-hour recorded
information on directions and the Aero's upcoming schedule,
