"Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story" Screening at DC/DOX Film Festival
Posted on June 12, 2024 by Neil Cole
A special screening of documentary film, "Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story" will be featured during the DC/DOX Film Festival in Washington, DC on Thursday, June 13th, 2024 at 7:00PM at the National Museum of History followed by an encore presentation on Sunday, June 16th at 4:30PM at the Landmark E-Street Cinema.
Moving backward and forward in time, filmmakers Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui expertly weave together a dual narrative exploring the life-changing impact of two pivotal moments in Christopher Reeve's career: being cast in 1978's Superman and becoming paralyzed in 1995.
Decades before superheroes took over the cinemas, Reeve made the world believe a man could fly; his accident brought worldwide awareness of disability. In Super/Man, Reeve's family and close confidantes demonstrate remarkable candor in their reflections on life before and after the accident. The result is a deeply moving film foregrounding the man behind Superman - not a hagiography, but a full-fledged portrait that encompasses both the soaring heights and the dark depths of Reeve's journey.
"Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story" is produced by Bonhôte, Robert Ford, Lizzie Gillett, Words+Pictures, Passion Pictures, and Misfits Entertainment in association with Jenco Films. Executive producers include Daniel Kilroy, Kristen Lappas, Marie Margolius, Mark Meatto, David Moulton, Andee Ryder, Connor Schell, and Libby Geist.
The opening night (June 13th) presentation of the documentary will be followed by a post-screening discussion with Alexandra Reeve Givens (daughter of Christopher Reeve), producers Libby Geist and Connor Schell, moderated by Audie Cornish, CNN Anchor and Podcast Host, The Assignment with Audie Cornish.
