The Montclair Film Festival’s first-ever filmmaker tribute will honour screenwriter, producer and director Richard Curtis, the man behind such beloved hits as Love Actually, Bridget Jones’ Diary, Notting Hill, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Blackadder and Mr. Bean.
The day long celebration on Saturday, 30 April, 2016 will include a screening of Love Actually, with a live commentary by Curtis, followed by a conversation with Stephen Colbert.
Speaking on the event Curtis said, “I’m so delighted to be part of the festival, and excited to have a chance to be on stage with Stephen Colbert — and looking forward to undermining Love Actually with my scurrilous memories and revelations about the low quality of the filmmaking, and quite how many members of my own family are in it, including my mother-in-law.”
A portion of the proceeds from the event will go to the UK charity Red Nose Day, which uses entertainment to address poverty and social injustice around the world.
Venue: Montclair Kimberley Academy (Upper School)
Date: Saturday April 30, 4:30 PM

** Tickets go on sale for Montclair Film Festival Members only beginning Tuesday, April 5th and to the general public on Friday, April 8th, 2016 at 11:00AM.
