Judith Crist Film Weekend Includes New Year's Eve
Celebration At Tarrytown House Estate
Film Buffs to Preview Major Films Scheduled for 2007 Release
TARRYTOWN, New York — Ten major films scheduled for release in 2007 will be previewed at the Judith Crist-Tarrytown House 2006 Film Weekend, scheduled this year for New Year's Weekend, Friday, December 29 through Monday, January 1, at Tarrytown House Estate and Conference Center.
This popular film "happening," now in its 33rd year, will once again be chaired by film and theater critic Judith Crist, known for her theater and film reviews in the New York Herald Tribune, TV Guide, the NBC-TV Today show, WOR-TV and the New York Saturday Review. Peter Travers, noted movie critic for Rolling Stone Magazine, will again be joining Ms. Crist on the podium for this eagerly anticipated event.
The four-day film extravaganza at Tarrytown House Estate, an elegant property overlooking the Hudson River, includes deluxe accommodations for three nights, all meals and many special events related to the previewing and discussion of films that will be seen by millions in 2007.
Among the treats in store for film weekend guests are a welcome cocktail reception with roving photographer, complimentary wine with dinner each evening, a fabulous New Year’s Eve celebration with favors and a champagne toast at midnight, plus free candy and popcorn at every film showing.
The films being previewed are all major motion pictures that will not be released until next year. The viewings will be followed by round table discussions led by Judith Crist and Peter Travers and will feature visits from guest film makers and actors who will discuss their work. In prior years, stars appearing during the weekend have included Jack Lemmon, Gregory Peck, Woody Allen and Paul Newman.
The per person cost for the three-night weekend, including luxurious lodgings, ten pre-release films and all meals from Friday night dinner to Sunday lunch, is $999 per person, double occupancy.
