Keeping Score

Keeping Score

FEBRUARY 12-13, 2008

Northwest Film Forum’s annual "Keeping Score" series celebrates cinema's greatest composers. This year we focus our attention on the extraordinary contributions of legendary Argentinean pianist, composer and conductor Lalo Schifrin. He's written over 100 scores for film and television since the early 1960s, among them COOL HAND LUKE, BULLITT, THE FOX, ENTER THE DRAGON, THX 1138, DIRTY HARRY, and most famously, the MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE theme. Schifrin’s tremendous ability to blend classical, jazz and popular music forms has gained him the admiration of veteran cinephiles and composers as well as a new generation of djs. Join us for special 35mm screenings of the two classic films for which Schifrin is best known

(NOTE: The previously announced event with Lalo Schifrin in person has been cancelled.)
