The Friend: Special Preview Screening

**Special Preview Screening — Post-screening discussion with author of THE FRIEND, Sigrid Nunez, moderated by Eleanor Henderson — Wednesday, March 19, 6:30 PM — Presented in Partnership with the Saltonstall Foundation for the Arts** After this preview screening, the film returns beginning on April 4! Based on the bestselling novel, writer and teacher Iris (Watts) finds her comfortable, solitary New York life thrown into disarray after her closest friend and mentor (Murray) leaves her his beloved 150 lb. Great Dane. The regal yet intractable beast, named Apollo, immediately creates practical problems for Iris, from furniture destruction to eviction notices, as well as more existential ones. Yet as Iris finds herself unexpectedly bonding with Apollo, she begins to come to terms with her past, and her own creative inner life in this story of healing, love, and friendship.PT2H2025-03-19
