Dante Ferretti, who just won the Academy Award for Best Art Direction for Martin Scorsese’s The Aviator, will speak about his 35-year career as a production designer at New York University’s Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò, located at 24 W. 12th Street (between Fifth and Sixth Avenues) on Tuesday, March 8, 1 p.m.
Ferretti will be in conversation with Antonio Monda, associate professor of film and TV at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, in front of an audience of NYU students, professors, and other guests.
Ferretti had been previously nominated for an Academy Award seven times.
