Annette Insdorf will lead a Q&A with director Philip Kaufman at the Chicago Film Festival on October 16.

Her critically acclaimed book in our Contemporary Film Directors series was published earlier this year.

“Superb.”–Hollywood Reporter

“A study so closely tuned to his work and so neatly supplemented with his own insights from interviews and e-mails that it reads like a biography of an oeuvre.”–The New Yorker online
