“CRITIC’S PICK! A work of deftness and delicacy, by turns a film about illness and death, about writing, about cinema and finally, and very movingly, a film about love. ” – Geoffrey O’Brien, The New York Times

Live virtual Q&A on Wed 5/27 with Chaz Ebert in conversation with director Steve James.

Acclaimed director Steve James along with executive producers Martin Scorsese and Steven Zaillian present LIFE ITSELF, a film that recounts the inspiring, entertaining and colorful life of world-renowned film critic Roger Ebert–a story that is by turns personal, funny, moving and transcendent. Based on his bestselling memoir of the same name, LIFE ITSELF, explores Roger Ebert’s legacy–his Pulitzer Prize-winning film criticism at the Chicago Sun-Times, his turn as screenwriter of BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS, his on and off screen relationship with Gene Siskel, all culminating in his ascension as one of the most influential cultural voices in America.

This presentation is part of the series MAGNOLIA PICTURES: A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE DOCS. 10% of every ticket sale will be distributed to a charity of the filmmaker’s choice.
