Programmed by Matt Wolf and Joseph A. Berger
Documentary filmmaker Matt Wolf’s portrait of the actor, comedian, and artist Paul Reubens—better known as Pee-wee Herman—premiered this past spring on HBO to great acclaim. Before his passing, Reubens gave Wolf a list of his favorite films—ones he loved and ones that influenced his most famous creation. This summer, we’re honored to host screenings of many of these films in collaboration with Wolf and film programmer Joseph A. Berger.
