Newly added to our Reel Pieces series is a night with character-actor supreme Philip Seymour Hoffman and his latest film, Capote. We’ve already mentioned the Y connection: Capote’s In Cold Blood debuted for the first time at the 92nd Street Y’s Kaufmann Concert Hall in a surprise reading by the author way back in 1964.

We’ll be screening Capote, of course, and following the movie Hoffman will stick around for a conversation with moderator Annette Insdorf. Hoffman is one of the hardest working actors out there and has taken on some unique roles over the years—it’ll be a treat.
