On Saturday, April 5, the Gene Siskel Film Center is honored to present Paul Schrader with our Renaissance Award. In advance of the occasion, we will screen seven films written and directed by Schrader, demonstrating the auteur’s provocative explorations of faith, his perpetual examinations of character’s values in conflict with society, and his indelible mark on American cinema. Schrader, who began his career as film critic and is a passionate and curious cinephile, has also curated four films for the Film Center’s screens, which run concurrently with and complement his own titles. Supported By Presenting Sponsor Averill Leviton and Producing Sponsor Marcel and Ann Muñoz.
