M*A*S*H: Celebrating Robert Altman
with Elliott Gould, Sally Kellerman and Kathryn Altman
featuring a screening and conversation. Moderated by Will Durst.
5:00pm $25
SF Sketchfest is honored to present one of cinema’s all-time classics, Robert Altman’s M*A*S*H with two of the iconic film’s stars and frequent Altman collaborators Elliott Gould and Sally Kellerman in attendance along with the late director’s wife, Kathryn Altman. These special guests will participate in a conversation and Q&A preceding the screening of the darkly comic 1970 film, which also stars Donald Sutherland, Tom Skerritt, Robert Duvall, Bud Cort, Rene Auberjonois, Gary Burghoff, and Fred Williamson. The movie, set during the Korean War (with a strong subtext addressing the controversy of the Vietnam War), received critical and audience acclaim and inspired a franchise to follow with the popular television series of the same name. Join us as we remember one of this century’s greatest filmmakers with this extraordinary film.
