For part one of this week's podcast, we're featuring a conversation with Albert Maysles from last year's New York Film Festival. The Q&A took place after a screening of his latest film, IRIS, which is now in theaters. The legendary director passed away this past March, and his presence will be sorely missed, but he will live on through his hugely influential films. Albert Maysles was an important member of our extended Film Society family. "Grey Gardens" premiered at the 13th New York Film Festival in 1975 and IRIS had its world premiere here at the 52nd NYFF last year. The film follows Iris Apfel, the quick-witted, flamboyantly dressed 93-year-old style maven who has had an outsized presence on the New York fashion scene for decades. More than a fashion film, the documentary is a story about creativity and how, even in Iris' dotage, a soaring free spirit continues to inspire.
