A doozy of an episode for a doozy of a film: Pete Timmermann, Director of the Webster University Film Series, joins The Lens to talk the Björk-starring and -soundtracked 2000 Palme d'Or winner "Dancer in the Dark." Before getting into his pick for the final episode in the Cannes Winners series, they all talk "Hit the Road" as well as the upcoming programs at the Film Series (and their recently upgraded state-of-the-art sight and sound). Joshua, Kayla, and Andrew round out the episode by excavating Pete's memories of his times at the Cannes Film Festival.
We'll be taking a short break for the rest of the summer. Fret not, however; We'll be bringing Cinema St. Louis' Golden Anniversaries film fest, a year-round celebration of the films of 1972, straight to your feed. First up, KDXH film critic Dr. Diane Carson talks the classic nü-screwball "What's Up, Doc?"
