Noah Baumbach's auspicious directorial debut with Kicking
and Screaming (NYFF '95) was a wry and witty portrait of slacker collegiates.
In his acclaimed new feature, The Squid and the Whale, Noah tells the
story of two young boys growing up in Brooklyn as their parents, both writers,
go through a painful divorce. In a one-on-one conversation with author, critic,
and fellow Brooklyn native, Phillip Lopate, the director will discuss life, cinema,
writing, and how they impact on one another. Co-presented by BOMB magazine,
as it celebrates 25 years of artists, writers, directors, and musicians in conversation.
