A rare 35mm revival screening of Bernardo Bertolucci's 1979 controversial drama LA LUNA, organized and hosted by film journalist and programmer David Savage and co-sponsored by Iconic Linx, brought near-sellout crowds to Anthology Film Archives in Manhattan on Monday, April 25th 2016, including the family of the late Jill Clayburgh (1944-2010) star of the film.

Organized both as a belated tribute to Clayburgh and an attempt to bring the neglected film back into popular and critical consciousness, the screening was a family affair for the beloved Clayburgh-Rabe family, bringing together Jill's husband, famed playwright David Rabe, their actress daughter Lily Rabe (star of the forthcoming "Miss Stevens") and their actor son Michael Rabe. Matthew Barry, Jill Clayburgh's co-star and son in the film, now a casting director, flew in from Los Angeles to attend the screening and panel discussion that followed, moderated by David Savage.
