DocFest: John Candy: I Like Me

With Q&A

To celebrate our 25th anniversary we welcome back alumni Colin Hanks (All Things Must Pass, SF DocFest 2015) for a free screening of and on stage conversation about his most recent award winning documentary John Candy: I Like Me. Hanks’ buoyant portrait pays tribute to Candy’s genius as a thespian, improvisor, and creator, taking care to highlight the tenderness and depth found in quieter performances. Through insight from Candy’s family members, I Like Me also draws attention to fatphobia and anxiety disorder, issues that shadowed Candy’s life and career. Candy died three decades ago, but his legacy endures in the hearts and funny bones of millions. I Like Me is a worthy tribute that will provoke tears of joy, loss, and blissful laughter.
