“The Rest I Make Up” (2018) is a feature-length
documentary following playwright
María Irene Fornés, weaving together footage of the present with archival
from the past to recall her career. Maria Irene Fornes is "America's Great Unknown
Playwright." When she stops writing due to dementia, a friendship with a
young writer reignites her visionary creative spirit, triggering a film
collaboration that picks up where the pen left off.
Following the film screening will be a discussion with
film Director, Michelle Memran.
