Remembering Gene Wilder

Thursday, May 2 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Remember Gene Wilder movie poster

11th Annual JCCNS International Jewish Film Festival, Generously sponsored by Sharon and Howard Rich & Leslie and Bob Ogan

This loving tribute to Gene Wilder celebrates his life and legacy as the comic genius behind an extraordinary string of film roles, from his first collaboration with Mel Brooks in The Producers to the enigmatic title role in the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, to his inspired on-screen partnership with Richard Pryor in movies like Silver Streak. It is illustrated by a bevy of touching and hilarious clips and outtakes, never-before-seen home movies, narration from Wilder’s audiobook memoir, and interviews with a roster of brilliant friends and collaborators including Mel Brooks, Alan Alda, and Carol Kane. Remembering Gene Wilder shines a light on an essential performer, writer, director, and all-around mensch.

$20 includes popcorn & drink!

Special guest, director and co-writer Glenn Kirschbaum will be joining us live to introduce the film and facilitate a Q&A after the film!

THIS FILM IS GENEROUSLY SPONSORED BY SHARON AND HOWARD RICH
