With a reputation as "the thinking person’s filmmaker," Philip Kaufman has created masterful work in a wide range of genres, including acclaimed big-screen versions of seemingly impossible-to-adapt literary works. The writer-director joins us in person at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica with some of his best-known films including THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING, INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS and a special screening of THE RIGHT STUFF at the newly refurbished American Legion Post 43 theater on the 100th Anniversary of Veterans Day.
