Don't miss this two-day Loeks Visiting Artist Series event with alumni director/writer Paul Schrader.
Paul Schrader, a son of Grand Rapids and a graduate of Calvin College, is a celebrated filmmaker, screenwriter, and film critic. Among his writing credits are Taxi Driver, The Last Temptation of Christ, and Raging Bull, all directed by Martin Scorsese. Schrader has directed more than twenty films, including Light Sleeper, Affliction, and Hardcore, which was filmed in Grand Rapids.
Schrader is also the author of a widely-anthologized article on film noir, and the book Transcendental Style in Film, soon to be published in a revised edition. Schrader’s latest film, First Reformed, has been widely acclaimed by critics and will be released to the general public later this spring.
