Melo/Dramas Q&A with Lili Taylor & David Michalek

In March, we presented Melo/Dramas with live musical accompaniment by the Neave Trio, followed by an illuminating Q&A with actress Lili Taylor and artist David Michalek. Guests experienced this singular fusion of slow-motion portraiture, live sound, and conversation, gaining rare insight into the creative process and artistic intent behind the work.

Originally created for Portraits in Dramatic Time and now screening in a movie theater for the first time, Melo/Dramas invites audiences to slow down and witness the subtleties of expression and movement. The evening underscored the JBFC’s commitment to unforgettable cinematic experiences that extend beyond the screen and into conversation.
