Wordfest is proud to be a community partner on the screening of The New York Review of Books: A 50 Year Argument, presented at the 2014 Calgary International Film Festival.
Designed to coincide with the anniversary of the venerable New York journal, The Fifty Year Argument, Academy Award® Martin Scorsese teams up with film editor-turned-director David Tedeschi to highlight the role the New York Review of Books has played in the cultural landscape of the United States.
Going far beyond a simple review of new and noteworthy books, the NYRB consistently provided a forum for intellectuals to wade publicly in the currents of social and political change.
As a delight to audiences, A Fifty Year Argument brings back many of the journal’s contributing authors, reading and reflecting back on their own articles and the discussions that followed.
CIFF ticket stubs from either screening of NYROB: A 50 Year Argument can be redeemed in-person at the Theatre Junction box office for a special 25% discount on Wordfest tickets at Theatre Junction GRAND or for use at the Festival bookstore from October 14 to 19. Phone 403-237-9068 for more information.
