A screening of the film will be followed by a panel discussion reuniting much of the creative team, including writer-director Kimberly Peirce '96, co-writer Andy Bienen '96 and Associate Professor, Film, producers Christine Vachon and Eva Kolodner, actor Chloe Sevigny, cinematographer Jim Denault, editor Lee Percy, and casting director Kerry Barden.
Kimberly Peirce's groundbreaking film Boys Don't Cry was released in 1999. It received considerable acclaim — including an Academy Award for Best Actress for star Hilary Swank — and was recently added by the Library of Congress to the national registry of films deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
This event was co-sponsored by the Sundance Institute.
