Added guest! 🩷🤍🖤 Actor Susan Berman will join us for a Q&A following SMITHEREENS (1982) on Sat. 5/25 at 1 pm at LF3.

Shot on 16mm film that captures the grit & glam of downtown in the 1980s, with an alternately moody & frenetic soundtrack by the Feelies + others, SMITHEREENS—the first American independent film to compete for the Palme d’Or—is an unfaded snapshot of a bygone era.
