Featuring an introduction and Q&A with 2025 Coolidge Award honoree Ethan Hawke!
On the evening of March 31, 1943, legendary lyricist Lorenz Hart (Academy Award® nominee Ethan Hawke) confronts his shattered self-confidence in Sardi’s bar as his former collaborator Richard Rodgers (Emmy Award® nominee Andrew Scott, FLEABAG) celebrates the opening night of his groundbreaking hit musical "Oklahoma!".
Acclaimed director Richard Linklater evokes the warm nostalgia of a bygone era in New York, aided by a wistful soundtrack and a remarkable, chameleon-like performance from Hawke. Also featuring standout turns from Margaret Qualley and Bobby Cannavale, BLUE MOON is a charming and witty look at one icon’s struggle to cope with the inevitable passage of time. A Sony Pictures Classics release.
After the screening, Ethan Hawke will participate in a Q&A.
ABOUT ETHAN HAWKE:
"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may" is a phrase a young Ethan Hawke took to heart while filming DEAD POETS SOCIETY, the iconic film that launched his career. Over the past 30 years, Hawke has become a multifaceted, critically acclaimed artist—an actor, writer, director, producer, and best-selling novelist—earning four Academy Award nominations, both as an actor and a writer.
As a filmmaker, he most recently directed and co-wrote WILDCAT, a biopic about Flannery O’Connor starring Maya Hawke, Laura Linney, and Steve Zahn, released by Oscilloscope in 2023. The film was produced under his banner, Under the Influence Productions, which he founded with his wife and producing partner Ryan Hawke. Under the Influence also produced the six-part Paul Newman-Joanne Woodward docuseries THE LAST MOVIE STARS, directed by Hawke and produced by Martin Scorsese; and the acclaimed FX drama THE LOWDOWN, which Hawke stars in and executive produces, reuniting with creator Sterlin Harjo following Hawke’s pivotal guest role in the penultimate episode of Harjo’s acclaimed series RESERVATION DOGS. As a filmmaker, Hawke’s directing credits also include the narrative features CHELSEA WALLS, THE HOTTEST STATE, BLAZE, and the documentary SEYMOUR: AN INTRODUCTION.
His expansive onscreen filmography includes his Oscar-nominated performances in TRAINING DAY and BOYHOOD, his Independent Spirit and Gotham Award-winning performance in FIRST REFORMED, his multi-award-nominated and Peabody-winning work in Showtime’s limited series THE GOOD LORD BIRD, plus films such as GATTACA, REALITY BITES, MAUDIE, THE NORTHMAN, SINISTER, THE PURGE, LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND, BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU'RE DEAD, GREAT EXPECTATIONS, WHITE FANG, Marvel's MOON KNIGHT, Pedro Almodóvar’s short film STRANGE WAY OF LIFE and the celebrated BEFORE trilogy (BEFORE SUNRISE and its sequels BEFORE SUNSET and BEFORE MIDNIGHT), for which he received two writing Oscar nominations alongside his collaborators Julie Delpy and Richard Linklater.
On stage, he received a Tony Award nomination for his performance in Tom Stoppard’s epic THE COAST OF UTOPIA, and also starred on Broadway in HENRY IV, Macbeth, and Sam Shepard’s TRUE WEST, in addition to countless Off-Broadway acting and directing credits. As a best-selling author, Hawke has written the novels "The Hottest State," "Ash Wednesday," "A Bright Ray of Darkness," the children’s book "Rules for a Knight," and two graphic novels, "Meadowlark and Indeh," with illustrator Greg Ruth.
