About The American Cinematheque Podcast
What movies would make it into the film festival of your life? The American Cinematheque has operated since 1985 as a year-round film festival. For our new podcast, we’ve asked friends and filmmakers to program their own festival with their favorite and most formative films – and share their most meaningful movie-going memories to celebrate the theatrical experience. Hosted by AC Artistic Director Grant Moninger, with new episodes every Thursday.
