Columbus with Kogonada, Pather Panchali with Dana Stevens at Filmspotting Fest (#1030)

Filmspotting

About
To celebrate 20 years of the show, we hosted Filmspotting Fest in March – six films over three days at two of Chicago’s iconic cinemas. This episode features two standout post-screening conversations: director Kogonada reflects on his Golden Brick-winning debut COLUMBUS, and Slate film critic Dana Stevens joins Josh to discuss Satyajit Ray’s indelible PATHER PANCHALI. 

This episode is presented by Regal Unlimited⁠, the all-you-can-watch movie subscription pass that pays for itself in just two visits.
