I'm Not There Introduced by Christine Vachon

Please note: This event is sold out.

By now you’ve surely heard how the singular Todd Haynes has created an unconventional bio-pic of Bob Dylan by having six different actors (including Christian Bale, Richard Gere, Heath Ledger, and, most notably, Cate Blanchett (pictured), who won the Best Actress award at the Venice Film Festival) portray Dylan at different stages of his career.

While this high-concept description is essentially true, it doesn’t convey what Haynes is really up to—and it’s hard to imagine a meatier American film to sink into at this moment.

See it at the Wexner Center, introduced by acclaimed indie producer Christine Vachon. Vachon has also produced such films as Haynes’s Safe, Poison, and Far from Heaven, as well as Kimberly Peirce’s Boys Don’t Cry and Mary Harron’s The Notorious Bettie Page, which Vachon introduced at the Wexner Center in January 2006 as part of a retrospective series on her work and that of Killer Films, the famed independent production company she cofounded. (135 mins, 35mm) Special thanks to Killer Films and The Weinstein Company for their invaluable assistance with this event.

Vachon participates in a book signing at the Wexner Center Store before the film, starting at approximately 6 PM. The featured title is A Killer Life: How an Independent Film Producer Survives Deals and Diasasters in Hollywood and Beyond, by Vachon with Austin Bunn.
