A panel considers some of the performances that director Robert Altman committed to film from the perspective of cinematography and acting itself. That so many featured players in Altman’s films returned to work on multiple projects is a testimony to the director’s ability to raise the craft of filming performance to a fine art.

Panelists are Virginia Wright-Wexman, Professor, University of Illinois, Chicago; Michael Murphy, Actor; Pierre Mignot, Cinematographer; and Terry Lawson, Retired Film Critic, Detroit Free Press, Moderator.

This event is one part of a series of Altmannerisms: Conversations Celebrating the Opening of the Robert Altman Archive. We invite you to take part in any or all of the events.
