Kodak Three Reeler
Lazlo Kovacs
Kovacs entered the United States as a political refugee in 1957. He began
shooting motorcycle films with titles like A Man Called Dagger and Hell¹s
Angels on Wheels for director Richard Rush. He was also working with other
promising directors, including Peter Bogdanovich (What¹s Up Doc?, Paper
Moon), Robert Altman (A Cold Day in the Park) and Dennis Hopper. Hopper
wanted him to shoot Easy Rider, but Kovacs had had his fill of shooting
motorcycle films -- until Hopper acted out the story.
Kovacs has subsequently compiled some 60 credits, including Five Easy
Pieces, The King of Marvin Gardens, Slither, Shampoo, New York, New York,
Ghostbusters, Mask, Radio Flyer, My Best Friend¹s Wedding, Return to Me,
Miss Congeniality, and Two Weeks Notice.
Join us for this memorable event as Kovacs discusses his work and screens
one reel each from three of his films.
