Photo Coverage: Norman Lear: 'Just Another Version Of You' at Gold Coast International Film Festival

Caroline Sorokoff, director of the Gold Coast International Film Festival announced today that there will be a special screening of the new documentary NORMAN LEAR Just Another Version Of You on Wednesday June 22 the Gold Coast International Film Festival is hosting a special screening of the dynamic new documentary Norman Lear: Just Another Version of You, followed by a Q&A with Mr. Lear's daughter, Kate Lear.

Arguably the most influential creator, writer, and producer in the history of television, Norman Lear brought primetime into step with the times. Using comedy and indelible characters, his legendary 1970s shows such as All In the Family,Maude, Good Times, and The Jeffersons, boldly cracked open dialogue and shifted the national consciousness, injecting enlightened humanism into sociopolitical debates on race, class, creed, and feminism.

Norman Lear: Just Another Version of You is the definitive chronicle of Mr. Lear's life, work, and achievements, but it is so much more than an arm's-length, past-tense biopic; at 93, Mr. Lear is as vital and engaged as he ever was. Top-notch cinéma vérité documentarians Rachel Grady and Heidi Ewing (Jesus Camp, 12th & Delaware, DETROPIA) seize the opportunity to fashion a dynamic portrait that matches the spirit of their subject.

Norman Lear: Just Another Version of You will be screened on June 22 at 7:30pm at the Bow Tie Great Neck Squire theater on Long Island, just 30 minutes by train from Penn station.

The screening will be followed by the Q&A with Ms. Lear and a VIP dessert reception at LOLA, the 3 ½ star restaurant hailed by the New York Times as "Excellent", "exotic and exciting."
