MY HUSBAND MAKES MOVIES |A JOHN SCHLESINGER FILM FESTIVAL

A Benefit For The Palm Springs Cultural Center

Jan 27 - Mar 17

Join me, Michael Childers, for a celebration of the visionary work of my late husband, director John Schlesinger. This festival is a tribute to John’s legacy as a filmmaker and his fearless exploration of humanity through the art of cinema.

Each evening begins in the Historic Camelot Theatre at the Palm Springs Cultural Center with onstage interviews featuring actors, filmmakers, and collaborators who will share their experiences and insights into John’s storytelling and creative genius.

Then we will screen these groundbreaking films on the big screen offering a rare opportunity to rediscover the artistry and boldness of his work as it was meant to be seen.

In the lobby, explore a special exhibition of rare, on-set photographs captured during the making of these iconic films.

All proceeds from this benefit festival will support the Revival Film Program at the Palm Springs Cultural Center, helping to ensure classic cinema continues to thrive for future generations.

Sunday Bloody Sunday (1971)

Starring Peter Finch, Glenda Jackson, and Murray Head

Sunday Bloody Sunday is one of Schlesinger’s most personal and groundbreaking films, exploring themes of love, identity, and emotional complexity with remarkable subtlety. Peter Finch’s performance earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor, while Schlesinger’s fearless storytelling cemented his reputation as one of cinema’s most daring auteurs.
