Lost & Found at the Movies is the Library Foundation’s new series celebrating the art of cinema and the vitality of film culture. Eclectic in theme and varying in form, this onstage magazine explores how we lose ourselves and find ourselves at the movies.

Befitting our library setting, Buck Henry and series curator John Nein explore writing and the art of adaptation, including rare and unusual renditions of Shakespeare (the most adapted author in film history?) a handful of lesser-known, wildly imaginative adaptations and Henry’s own literary adaptions, including Catch-22, The Graduate To Die For while exploring the writer, actor, director’s rich life in cinema.
