It’s the rare filmmaker who is as prolific (making 20 films in as many years) as he is versatile and talented (from the groundbreaking indie SEX, LIES, AND VIDEOTAPE to the box-office smash of the OCEAN’S ELEVEN series to the experimental elegance of BUBBLE). Rarer still is the director who has competed against himself for an Academy Award (ERIN BROCKOVICH, TRAFFIC)—and won. And so it goes without saying that Film Streams is thrilled and honored to welcome one of the film world’s most important directors, Steven Soderbergh, as our special guest for <b><a class=bodycopy href=”http://filmstreams.org/filmstreams_calendar.aspx?ID=636″>FEATURE III</b></a>, the third fundraiser celebration in support of the Ruth Sokolof Theater. We’re also excited to present this special series in conjunction with the event, featuring a few of Steven’s films (how to choose from such an amazing filmography!), plus two personal favorites picked by him: Victor Erice’s Spanish masterpiece THE SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE (1973) and Richard Lester’s brilliant, hugely influential A HARD DAY’S NIGHT (1964).
