Film at Lincoln Center presents Danny Glover and Louverture Films, an exceptional program curated in partnership with Louverture co-founders Danny Glover and Joslyn Barnes, December 1–7.
Few have left as indelible a mark on cinema as actor, producer, political activist, and UN Goodwill Ambassador Danny Glover. Whether teaming up with key Hollywood directors (Steven Spielberg, Jonathan Demme, Robert Benton, Lawrence Kasdan, and others) or starring in one of the great American independent films of the 1990s (Charles Burnett’s To Sleep with Anger, centered on his unforgettable performance), Glover has captivated and enthralled audiences with his endlessly evocative screen acting. But he has also established himself as an important champion of world cinema’s leading auteurs through the production company, Louverture Films, that he founded with Joslyn Barnes in 2005. Among Louverture’s wide-ranging credits are lauded and beloved works by such contemporary masters as Abderrahmane Sissako, Lucrecia Martel, and Apichatpong Weerasethakul.
