From July 19 to 25, the Film Society of Lincoln Center in New York will hold Prince of the City: Remembering Sydney Lumet, a retrospective to honor the work of the late great Sydney Lumet. A total of 16 films will be shown, including masterpieces like Network, Dog Day Afternoon, 12 Angry Men and, naturally, The Wiz. The highlight, perhaps, is a rare screening of Lumet's 1968 adaptation of Anton Chekhov's The Sea Gull, a film that's not even available on DVD.
Some of the screenings will also have special guests. Screenwriter Walter Bernstein at Fail-Safe on Wednesday, July 20. Treat Williams and former NYPD narcotics detective Robert Leuci at Prince of the City on Sunday, July 24. Luis Guzman, Paul Calderon and Judge Edwin Torres at Q&A on Sunday, July 24.
All films screen at the Walter Reade Theater of Lincoln Center. Tickets are available online or at the box office starting today. Schedule of films below.
