Join us for a special evening with legendary film composer Randy Edelman, featuring a screening of the iconic 1990s comedy The Mask, followed by a live concert and post-film discussion and Q&A. Starring Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz, The Mask remains a high-water mark of comic fantasy, driven by Edelman’s instantly recognizable score. After the film, Edelman will take the stage to perform music from his celebrated career and reflect on the lasting impact of his work in film and television in this special live appearance.
The Film: THE MASK
He's s-s-s-smokin'! Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz star in this iconic 90s super-hero comedy about a socially inept bank teller, Stanley Ipkiss, who dons an ancient Nordic mask and is transformed into a green-faced, hyper-confident trickster who moves at warp speed, reads your every desire, and dances like Fred Astaire, Gumby, and Baryshnikov combined. As The Mask, Stanley gains cartoon-like powers and a fearless new persona that turns his life upside down, drawing him into a world of gangsters, nightclub glamour, and comic chaos. (USA, 1994, 101 mins, PG-13, English | Dir. Chuck Russell)
Randy Edelman is an acclaimed composer and songwriter whose work spans more than 100 film and television projects.
