On Monday, May 21 at 7:30 p.m., Academy Award-winning director Steven Soderbergh (Ocean's 13, Traffic, Erin Brockovich) and Kathleen Russo (Gray's widow and creator of Stories Left to Tell) hosted a special screening of Spalding Gray's Gray's Anatomy (1996) at IFC Center (323 Avenue of the Americas).
A discussion with Soderbergh (who directed Gray's Anatomy) and Russo followed, where they were joined by Stories Left to Tell director Lucy Sexton and cast members Hazelle Goodman and Dylan Walsh (in the show through May 22) to discuss Gray's work and his legacy in film and theater. This is the first of two special presentations of films based on Gray's monologues; Jonathan Demme will present a screening of Swimming To Cambodia later this summer.
