Israeli filmmaker Ari Folman shares a glimpse into the teeming cinematic imagination that brought moviegoers Waltz with Bashir, the 2009 feature documentary that revolutionized the aesthetic possibilities of animation. His latest project The Congress freely adapts Stanislaw Lem’s 1971 sci-fi novel The Futurological Congress and stars Robin Wright Penn and Jon Hamm. This very special conversation will be led by Gretchen Helfrich, former host of WBEZ’s Odyssey and current associate at the firm of Mayer Brown in Chicago.
