    Revered as one of the most artistically inventive and skilled cinematographers of the 1970s and 1980s, Gordon Willis defined the pervasive anxiety and implacable darkness of the New American Cinema through his now famous collaborations with Francis Ford Coppola, Alan Pakula, Woody Allen and Hal Ashby. Despite the scandalous neglect of the Academy in overlooking Willis, (which will be corrected with a much deserved Honorary Oscar to be awarded this November) he has been recognized as one of the postwar American cinema’s great masters by the next generation of cinematographers who learned from his example and especially by those artists, such as Michael Chapman (Raging Bull)and John Bailey (Mishima), who were directly shaped by their experience as his assistant. We will screen the films Manhattan, Pennies from Heaven, The Parallax View, The Purple Rose of Cairo, The Godfather, The Godfather: Part II and The Landlord.
