SPEAKER: JAMES CURTIS

Cultural  and film historian, James Curtis, discusses his acclaimed new biography, “BUSTER  KEATON,  A Filmmaker’s Life,”  a major biography of the legendary  comedian and filmmaker. Keaton elevated physical comedy to the highest  of arts and whose ingenious films remain as startling, innovative,  modern- and irresistible- today as they were when  they first captivated audiences nearly a century away. Keaton’s iconic  deadpan stare in his porkpie hat, christened “The Great Stone Face” by James Agee was as recognizable as Charlie Chaplin’s little tramp. Curtis has superbly chronicled the emergence and career of the comic genius who revolutionized comedy in cinema.
