Experience "Radio Days," an enormously tender cinematic memoir recalling the brief reign of the wireless as America's preeminent parlor entertainment. This screening includes a special introduction by Wallace Shawn and John Early. The film moves freely between the home life of a Jewish family in Rockaway Beach and a glitzy Manhattan, featuring a superb Mia Farrow and a sublime performance by Diane Keaton. It is part of the "Wallace Shawn: The Master Builder" series.
