More than a career retrospective, festival goers will engage with Burns, his collaborators, historians, and students in consequential conversations about the simple question Burns has explored in all his films: Who Are We? The festival will feature film screenings, post-show discussions, and breakout sessions with scholars, Burns’s collaborators, and other special guests.
Paid events: $29 each – These events may be purchased online (fees may apply), by phone or in person at the Box Office.
