We had the pleasure of hosting American Film Institute Founder George Stevens, Jr. earlier this week at an Institute discussion on creativity with our Arts Program Director Damian Woetzel as part of The Washington Ideas Roundtable Series.
In a career spanning fifty years, George Stevens, Jr. has created a legacy of distinguished work as a writer, director, producer of motion pictures and television. In 1962 he became the head of the Motion Picture Service of the US Information Agency under Edward R. Murrow, and in 1967 founded the American Film Institute. He continues to serve on the AFI Board.
As part of the Michelle Smith and the Robert H. Smith Family Foundation Roundtable series, Michael Kaiser discusses arts leadership and reflects on his recent book, Leading Roles: 50 Questions Every Arts Board Should Ask (Brandeis).
