Note that this page is hopelessly out-of-date! In the past few years I have had speaking engagements in many different cities and countries -- in Salzburg, Austria talking about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and the work of Mark Rappaport; at the Rotterdam Film Festival to screen the first version of Shadows; in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, talking about John Cassavetes and leading a discussion with the director of a new stage adaptation of Opening Night by Toneelgroep Amsterdam; in New York City talking about a newly discovered work written, directed, and filmed by John Cassavetes; at Harvard University's Harvard Film Archive introducing the work of Morris Engel on one occasion and introducing the films of Jay and Mark Duplass on another; at Harvard's Loeb Drama Center (home of the American Repertory Theater) for the premiere of a theatrical adaptation of Wim Wenders's Wings of Desire; in Los Angeles talking about independent film; and in many other locations and universities speaking or participating in panel discussions about independent or art film. At the moment I am writing this I also have an upcoming trip to Ireland and London scheduled. (Click here to read a listing of other recent events I have participated in, organized, or moderated.) |
However, given the increasing number of events, it has become impossible for me to keep this page up-to-date and keep its listings complete and accurate. Therefore, I have discontinued updating it and removed most of the old listings. Consequently, if anyone is considering extending an invitation to me to speak or participate in an event, rather than consulting this page, they should should write me at the email address for the site (raycarney@usa.net) and ask if I am available on a specific date and location. If anyone would like to have me visit a city they live in or speak at a university or film festival with which they are associated, they should have the organization contact me directly at that same email address. I will attempt to accommodate as many organizations and groups as my schedule permits. |

Cassavetes' Television Acting and Directing With the assistance of the Museum of Television and Radio and in the collaboration with Jane Klain, Manager of Research Services, Prof. Carney has discovered and revived many unknown or forgotten early television works in which Cassavetes appeared, including his virtuosic one-man performance piece, Flip Side (which was never broadcast in U.S.), his acting and directing work in Johnny Staccato and The Lloyd Bridges Show, and his acting in many other otherwise lost or forgotten television series like Burke's Law, Bob Hope Presents the Chrysler Theater, and Columbo. Prof. Carney organized and presented the first public screenings of many of these works in recent years as well as screenings of other works by Cassavetes that have never been broadcast on television or released in theaters. The revised edition of his Cassavetes on Cassavetes has the most complete discussion of Cassavetes' television work ever assembled. (Click here to find out how to obtain this book.)
