From July 10-14, Apatow classics of the big and small screen will be screened as part of a special series Film Society is calling “I Found This Funny: The Comedy World of Judd Apatow.” Films that inspired the writer-director will also be screened. Additionally, Apatow will be present for several appearances and Q&As, while Amy Schumer, Lena Dunham and more special guests are set to be a part of the program as well.

According to the Film Society’s official release: “Apatow asserts his belief in romantic fidelity despite the protestations of many of his characters, and his frequent collaboration with friends—nine projects with Paul Rudd, eight with Seth Rogen, seven with Jonah Hill—give the impression of a joyful, laidback cottage industry. Apatow cites John Cassavetes and Hal Ashby as favorite filmmakers, influences that surface in his masterful use of improvisation and his obvious fondness for his characters, flawed and immature though they may be.”
