Guest Speaker

Todd Haynes' first feature film, Poison, released in 1991, won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. Next he released Safe (1995), Julianne Moore’s first leading role, which he followed with Velvet Goldmine (1998) and Far from Heaven (2002). In 2006, he had six actors play Bob Dylan in I’m Not There before moving to television to direct the award-winning miniseries Mildred Pierce (2011) starring Kate Winslet. He returned to film in 2015 with the Oscar-nominated Carol starring Cate Blanchett, then followed with Wonderstruck (2017) and the legal thriller Dark Waters (2019). His 2022 project, a documentary on the Velvet Underground, is now streaming on Apple TV, and his most recent film May December, produced by Killer Films, will be distributed by Netflix.
