In this Mavericks presentation, the screening of the film will be followed by a conversation with director David Tedeschi, Bob Silvers, and other special guests from the production, to be announced.

The 50 Year Argument - The New York Review of Books looks at the five-decade history of the titular American publication, weaving together rarely seen archival material with contributor interviews, original footage filmed in the Review’s Manhattan offices, and excerpts from writers such as Susan Sontag, Joan Didion, Norman Mailer, Gore Vidal and James Baldwin.

The film marks Scorsese’s sixth doc collaboration with Tedeschi, and their first as co-directors. Tedeschi previously served as editor on 2011's George Harrison: Living in the Material World, 2010's Public Speaking, 2008's Shine a Light, 2005's No Direction Home, and an episode of Scorsese’s 2003 doc series The Blues.
