About

Old Hollywood collides with New Hollywood, and screen horror with real-life horror, in the startling debut feature from Peter Bogdanovich. Produced by Roger Corman, this chillingly prescient vision of American-made carnage casts Boris Karloff as a version of himself: an aging horror-movie icon whose fate intersects with that of a seemingly ordinary young man (Tim O’Kelly) on a psychotic shooting spree around Los Angeles. Charged with provocative ideas about the relationship between mass media and mass violence, TARGETS is a model of maximally effective filmmaking on a minimal budget and a potent first statement from one of the defining voices of the American New Wave.

Sashy Bogdanovich and editor Sam Wasson join us for a Q&A following the screening to discuss the film and the new book BUT WHAT I REALLY WANT TO DO IS DIRECT: MY FIRST PICTURE SHOWS 1968-1971, written by Peter Bogdanovich.

Copies of the book will be available for signing after the screening, courtesy of Watchung Booksellers.
