TOM DICILLO - FRIDAY OCTOBER 23rd, 6:00pm
TOM DiCILLO is one of the most singular filmmakers to emerge from the American independent film scene of the last two decades. DiCillo's first film, JOHNNY SUEDE, featured Brad Pitt in his first leading role. DiCillo's follow-up film, LIVING IN OBLIVION, starred Steve Buscemi in an inventive and hilarious work of cinema that has been hailed as the definitive "film about filmmaking.” DiCillo recently completed his 7th feature film, WHEN YOU'RE STRANGE, the first full-length documentary about the The Doors with narration by Johnny Depp. AN EVENING WITH TOM DiCILLO will feature an onstage conversation with the filmmaker and interactive discussions with students. Not to be missed.
