AN ART ON SCREEN FILM
Special Guests: Katerina Stoykova, Frank X Walker, and Stuart Horodner
TUE, JUL 9 @ 7:15PM
Join us for the latest film event in our new series, ART ON SCREEN. We're proud to present Jim Jarmusch's Paterson, with special guests Katerina Stoykova and Frank X Walker in conversation with UK Art Museum director Stuart Horodner.
"Paterson is easily one of Jarmusch's most accomplished films. He portrays the life of the mind and the workings of the creative soul as a kind of secret love affair, a deep, hidden well inside the most ordinary, mundane existence." —Philadelphia Inquirer
A week in the life of Paterson (Adam Driver), a poet bus driver, and his wife Laura, an artist, who live in Paterson, New Jersey, hometown of many famous poets and artists.
