LIFE IS A MOVIE

A Tribute To John Cassavetes

GREEK-AMERICAN director/actor John Cassavetes, whose films Shadows (1959), A Woman Under the Influence (1974) and Opening Night (1977) made him into an independent cinema pioneer, is being commemorated at the Hellenic American Union with a photography exhibition and a series of screenings. Known for his penetrating view of American society, Cassavetes (1929-1989) wrote, directed starred in and occasionally produced and even distributed his own films.

The exhibition comprises more than 100 photographs by internationally renowned photographers Sam Shaw and Larry Shaw.
