In anticipation of the New York theatrical premiere run of his new film Jason and Shirley at MoMA, filmmaker-writer-producer Stephen Winter joins us to discuss the challenge of reinterpreting and fictionalizing a beloved work of nonfiction film (Shirley Clarke’s 1967 masterpiece Portrait of Jason). “Stephen Winter is a supernova. Every once in a while, in our often unscrupulous world of film, riddled with beautifully insane people, a person will come along, if one should be so lucky, that will share and shine their preternatural supereminence, brightly, in one’s life, cutting bone deep, through curious mélange of cinema-making” (Jonathan Caouette). The discussion is preceded by a screening of Jason and Shirley.

Jason and Shirley. 2015. USA. Directed by Stephen Winter. 79 min.

Screenplay by Winter, Sarah Schulman, Jack Waters. With Waters, Schulman.

This film accompanies Modern Mondays and MoMA Presents: Stephen Winter’s Jason and Shirley.
