Landmark Midtown Art Cinema is presenting an 8-week series featuring an iconic and original genre of American filmmaking—Westerns.
From April 15 to June 3, film scholars Eddy Von Mueller and Gabe Wardell will host, screen, and discuss classics and contemporary Westerns from “The Searchers” to “The Quick and the Dead” and beyond in the series “The Next Picture Show: Revisiting Western Frontiers.” Von Mueller and Wardell joined “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes to discuss the Westerns that are worth watching again on the big screen.
“What watching some of these films does is it actually shows us that from its very inception, the idea was nostalgic and a false creation,” said Wardell.
