Overview

One of the defining faces of American independent cinema is lighting up the big screen at ACMI. From her breakout role in Richard Linklater's Dazed and Confused to her hysterical turn in Christopher Guest's Best in Show, Parker Posey has inhabited some of the most memorable film and television characters of the past few decades. Running for two weeks starting Sunday March 13, In Praise of Parker Posey looks back at her fascinating career.

In addition to the aforementioned, titles on the program include Zoe Cassavetes' Broken English, Rebecca Miller's Personal Velocity and Woody Allen's Irrational Man, as well as all three films in Hal Hartley's Henry Fool trilogy. The retrospective season also includes a panel discussion on Posey's work in television, featuring journalists Penny Modra, Sinead Stubbins, Bhakthi Puvanenthiran and Luke Buckmaster.
