'U.S. vs. Lennon,' Vachon Skedded for Lincoln Center This Month

Stop the weekend! At least for moment, anyway, while I get you up to speed on a couple of nifty events planned this month at Lincoln Center. First up is a preview of the documentary The U.S. vs. John Lennon next Thursday, Sept. 7, with directors David Leaf and John Schonfeld dropping in to chat about the film with Leon Wildes, who worked all kinds of magic back in the day as Lennon's immigration attorney. The screening starts at 8 p.m.; tickets will set you back $10.

A few weeks later on Sept. 25, producer Christine Vachon will be in the house for a screening of Boys Don't Cry and to discuss her new book, A Killer Life: How an Independent Film Producer Survives Deals and Disasters in Hollywood and Beyond, with Film Society poobah Richard Peña. Vachon will follow the event with a book signing; be the first on your block to own a copy. Unless you live on Killer Films' block of Lafayette Street, of course, in which case I just don't know what to tell you. The fun begins at 7 p.m. sharp, and tickets to this one also run $10. Buy them here.
