Russellmania!
July 30 to August 5

Ken Russell in person each evening!

England’s answer to Fellini will always be regarded as British cinema’s greatest enfant terrible. But at 83 and still going strong, he’s also a British national treasure. In the 1960s and 70s Russell trashed the staid conventions of cinematic good taste, forging a subversive cinema of outrageous excess and mischievous iconoclasm. At time when the British film industry was all but moribund, this fearlessly controversial and flamboyant writer-director pulled off an unmatched nine-film winning streak, which we present for your delectation. Join us for six personal audiences with the legendary Ken Russell, British Cinema’s madcap visionary maverick.

Two Blasts from the Past: Ken Russell interviewed by Gene D. Phillips, from Film Comment Fall 1970 issue, and Russellmania by Stephen Farber, from Film Comment November/December 1975
