Preview Screening of Darkest Hour with Guests Gary Oldman and Director Joe Wright

After clips from his career and a preview screening of Darkest Hour, Academy Award nominated actor Gary Oldman will be joined onstage by the film’s director Joe Wright for a conversation with moderator Annette Insdorf.

In the role of Winston Churchill, Oldman received rave reviews at the Telluride Film Festival. His previous films include recurring roles in the Harry Potter series as well as the Batman films, Sid and Nancy, Prick Up Your Ears, Leon: the Professional, JFK (as Lee Harvey Oswald), Immortal Beloved (as Beethoven), State of Grace, Bram Stoker’s Dracula and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (for which he received an Academy Award nomination).

Joe Wright is the director of such acclaimed films as Pride and Prejudice, Atonement, Hanna and Anna Karenina. The cast of Darkest Hour includes Lily James, Ben Mendelsohn, Stephen Dillane and Kristin Scott Thomas as Clementine Churchill. Variety wrote about this film, “Set during the crucial first days of Winston Churchill’s term as prime minster, this talky, yet stunningly cinematic history lesson balances the great orator’s public triumphs with more vulnerable private moments of self-doubt, elevating the inner workings of British government into a compelling piece of populist entertainment.
