Cinemix Film Series: Pilgrim, Farewell (with guest Michael Roemer)

Pilgrim, Farewell (Michael Roemer, 1982, 35mm, 102 mins). New print!
Michael Roemer in person! With minimal staging and a small cast (which includes Elizabeth Huddle and Christopher Lloyd), this American Playhouse co-production tells the story of Kate, a woman angered by her terminal cancer diagnosis, trying to find peace with her family. “Pilgrim, Farewell could be called a four-hander or chamber piece, but more elegantly described as a small symphony” (Jake Perlin). 35mm print from the Yale Film Archive.

This event will be preceded by a 1 p.m. screening of Roemer’s film Dying. Also a new print!

The “Cinemix” series features stand-alone screenings of standout films, presented by the Yale Film Archive and our colleagues from across campus and beyond.
