Directed by Joe Dante in 1997 yet ever so timely today,THE SECOND CIVIL WAR stars James Earl Jones, Elizabeth Peña, and Denis Leary as reporters for a CNN-like cable network; Phil Hartman as the U.S. President; James Coburn as his chief political advisor; and William Schallert as the Secretary of Defense. Brian Keith portrayed a general in one of his final movie roles.

Joe Dante will join us for a Q&A via Skype from LA afterwards with Giulia D'Agnolo Vallan, our head of programming. Dante has built one of the smartest, funniest, most subversive and successful movie careers in Hollywood. Among his anarchic comedies, scary horrors and ingenious fantasy films are: Gremlins (1984), Matinee (1993), Howling (1981), Innerspace (1987) and Small Soldiers(1998), In 2005, the New Yorker called Homecoming - Dante’s episode of Showtime’s Masters of Horror series - “the best political film of 2005."
