Film’s director, star appearing at pair of local showings

“Columbus” screenwriter and director Kogonada and actress Haley Lu Richardson will handle question-and-answer sessions at the 5:30 and 8:01 p.m. Sept. 1 showings of the film at YES Cinema, 325 Jackson St. downtown, according to organizers.

Both shows are already sold out, officials said.

But those wanting to hear the filmmaker speak about his feature debut can catch him during question-and-answer sessions at 4:10 and 6:55 p.m., Sept. 2, and 1:15 and 4:10 p.m. Sept. 3 at Keystone Art Cinema, 8702 Keystone Crossing in Indianapolis.

Actress, comedian and author Julia Sweeney, a former cast member on “Saturday Night Live,” will moderate the Sept. 3 sessions, organizers said.
