Alexander Payne: His Journey in Film screenings-discussions

Recap/Looking Ahead closes this sequence of classes

Saturday, May 12

9:30 am-12:30 pm

MCC @ DoSpace

Few filmmakers have accumulated a body of work of such depth and quality as Alexander Payne has in two decades. He’s given us much to think about already but he may only be at the mid-point of his career, which means there’s much more to come. It’s fun to recap what he’s given us thus far and to speculate on what might come next from him. We will sample scenes from his works, converse about what makes an Alexander Payne film an Alexander Payne film and discuss what we would like to see from him that we haven’t seen to date.

The work-in-progress page is devoted to my acclaimed book about the Oscar-winning filmmaker and his work.

“This is without question the single best study of Alexander Payne’s films, as well as the filmmaker himself and his filmmaking process. In charting the first two decades of Payne’s remarkable career, Leo Adam Biga pieces together an indelible portrait of an independent American artist, and one that’s conveyed largely in the filmmaker’s own words. This is an invaluable contribution to film history and criticism – and a sheer pleasure to read as well.” –Thomas Schatz, Film scholar and author (The Genius of the System)

The book sells for $25.95.

Available through Barnes & Noble, on Amazon, for Kindle and at other bookstores and gift shops nationwide.
