Late
last month the Film Society of Lincoln Center’s Young
Friends of Film hosted its 6th annual Young Friends
of Film Honors, a gala evening that pays tribute to an outstanding,
contemporary
actor or director whose work is enjoyed and admired by today’s
young cineastes. Previous honorees have been: Pedro Almodovar (2004),
Ethan Hawke (2003), Jennifer Jason Leigh (2002), John
Turturro (2001), and Kevin Bacon (2000).
This year Young Friends of Film honored Campbell Scott.
The black-tie evening featured a special screening of Scott’s
newest film, The Dying Gaul, directed by Craig
Lucas (Reckless,
Prelude to a Kiss, The Light in the Piazza) from his own play.
It was the New York premiere of the film, which has also appeared
at the Sundance Film Festival and will appear at the Seattle and
San Francisco Film Festivals.

Set in the backstabbing world of contemporary Hollywood, The
Dying Gaul chronicles the dangerous sexual and emotional triangle among
a young screenwriter (Peter Sarsgaard), a ruthless studio executive
(Scott), and his unpredictable wife (Patricia
Clarkson). To compound
this complexity, the screenwriter faces studio pressure to change
the gay subject of his latest work, which he has based on his relationship
with his now-dead lover.
In addition to Scott, Lucas and the film’s co-stars Peter
Sarsgaard (Kinsey, Garden State) and Patricia Clarkson (Six
Feet Under, The Station Agent) participated in the screening
and gala party which followed in Lincoln Center’s Kaplan Penthouse.
The evening also featured a selection of film clips from Mr. Scott’s
career.
A self-effacing actor who has mostly worked outside the mainstream
Hollywood system, Scott has appeared in and directed many smaller,
more personal films and repeatedly worked with like-minded actors
such as Rossellini, Davis, Leary, and Tucci. He has been richly
rewarded by the film community in turn, with many accolades following
the release of Big Night, among them the “Best New Filmmaker” awards
from the Boston Society of Film Critics and the New York Film Critics
Circle. Scott was nominated for a “Best Male Lead” Independent
Spirit Award for Roger Dodger and Mrs. Parker and
the Vicious Circle,
and he won the National Board of Review’s “Best Actor” award
for Roger Dodger. This year, his Off the Map won
the “Audience
Award” at the Sarasota Film Festival.
Scott also has an extensive theater background. He has appeared
on Broadway in productions of “Long Day’s Journey Into
Night” (with his mother), “Ah! Wilderness!,” “Hay
Fever,” and “The Queen and the Rebels.” Off-Broadway
credits include “The Last Outpost,” “Copperhead,” “A
Man for All Seasons,” and “On the Bum.”
Very comfortable with Shakespeare, he has appeared in Lincoln Center’s
production of “Measure for Measure,” the New York Shakespeare
Festival’s “Pericles,” and the Philadelphia Drama
Guild’s “Othello.” Most recently, he appeared
in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” with the New York
Philharmonic at Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall.
Young Friends of Film (YFF) is a membership program of
the Film Society of Lincoln Center. The annual fee for a Young Friends of
Film membership is $225 per year ($130 is tax deductible). A bi-monthly
series, it offers 21-40 year old film buffs a chance to see masterpieces
from previous New York Film Festivals (NYFF) at the Walter Reade
Theater.
The Film Society shows these films as they were meant to be seen—on
the big screen—in order to foster a greater appreciation
of cinema’s past accomplishments. A film critic or filmmaker
introduces the screening, which is followed by a lively reception
in the theater’s Frieda and Roy Furman Gallery to encourage
socializing and audience discussion of the film. YFF Honors is
an annual event of the YFF program.
Young Friends of Film is an ongoing fundraiser for the Film Society
of Lincoln Center, a non-profit arts organization. The Film Society
of Lincoln Center produces the New York Film Festival, New Directors/New
Films (with the Museum of Modern Art), Film Comment Magazine and
daily programs year-round at the Walter Reade Theater at Lincoln
Center. |
