"No one writes more thoughtfully, fair-mindedly and elegantly about film these days than Geoffrey O'Brien. In a lucid if understated manner, he keeps piling insight upon insight until you have to gasp as his overall brilliance, erudition and mastery of the critical enterprise."- Phillip Lopate

The evening will celebrate O'Brien's new collection of film criticism Stolen Glimpses, Captive Shadows and will include a discussion about the book with Kent Jones, NYFF Director of Programming moderating, as well as a screening of Jacques Tourneur's 1946 color western CANYON PASSAGE.
