Redford and company visit HFA

Legendary film star and patron of the arts Robert Redford came to the Harvard Film Archive (HFA) last week (Oct. 11) for a sneak preview of “Lions for Lambs,” which Redford directed and which stars Meryl Streep and Tom Cruise. Redford was joined at the HFA by fellow cast members Michael Pena and Andrew Garfield, who took part in a panel discussion following the screening of the film.

Redford, who has starred in “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” “The Sting,” “All the President’s Men,” and “The Great Gatsby,” among many other movies, won the Academy Award for directing in 1980 for the film “Ordinary People.”
