MALIBU FILM SOCIETY FILM SCREENINGS
The Malibu Film Society and the City of Malibu will be bringing three special events to Malibu this summer, with 50 free seats reserved for local residents. All three events will be held in the Malibu Civic Theater at City Hall, located at 23825 Stuart Ranch Road. Showtimes will be 7:30 p.m. each night, with doors opening at 7 p.m. for the free pre-show reception, including wine, snacks, and soft drinks for all guests. The next film screening is on Thursday, Aug. 15, for the film “Buster Keaton — America’s Avant-Garde Auteur.” One of the greatest comic actors of all time, Buster Keaton influenced Charlie Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy, W.C. Fields, Abbott and Costello, Sid Caesar, Lucille Ball, Jerry Lewis, and Bill Murray. His influence as a director has been just as profound, an unconventional and surreal style that’s since shown up in films by Orson Welles, Billy Wilder, Roman Polanski, Woody Allen, Mel Brooks, Martin Scorsese, Wes Anderson, and more. Hollywood historian, producer, and screenwriter David Weddle (“Battlestar Galactica,” “For All Mankind”) will join us for an evening of film clips and conversation about why Keaton remains such a powerful, indelible presence. Weddle will also stay with us after the show to answer questions.
