SMASH HIS CAMERA

Q&A with director Leon Gast

Please note: SMASH HIS CAMERA will start at 8:30 pm.

“Famously and successfully sued by Jackie Onassis, and slugged just as famously and successfully by Marlon Brando, denounced from the pulpits of punditry for decades, [Ron] Galella has been a man easy to hate. But whether he can be blamed for sparking the current celeb-ysteria, he certainly created a body of work that is historically irreplaceable. [Director Leon] Gast, who won an Oscar® for his documentary When We Were Kings, gives us a man of personal complexity as well, a man who has photographed legends but still says ‘Catherine De Nerve,’ a tough guy who lives in a house a friend describes as right out of ‘The Sopranos,’ except the Sopranos did not have a statue-studded pet bunny cemetery in the backyard.”
