A Tribute To Bud Cort
Beloved character actor Bud Cort built a career out of making the unusual unforgettable. From his odd bird performance in Brewster McCloud to his tender, offbeat turn in Harold And Maude, he gave us a lifetime of bringing humanity to the outsiders he inhabited. Join us in March 2026 as we pay tribute to his work.

Take flight with Robert Altman's surreal fantasy Brewster McCloud, kicking off our three film tribute to beloved character actor Bud Cort! Brewster (Cort) is an owlish, intellectual boy who lives in a fallout shelter of the Houston Astrodome. He has a dream: to take flight within the confines of the stadium. Brewster tells those he trusts of his dream, but displays a unique way of treating others who do not fit within his plans. While a young tour guide befriends Brewster and tries to get to know him better, the Houston police struggle to solve a sudden rash of strangulation murders. A quirky comedy with a pronounced dark streak, Brewster McCloud is one of Altman's most delightfully strange films, often forgotten amongst his myriad of filmic masterpieces. You know how people say "they don't make 'em like this anymore"? Well, they really don't make 'em like this anymore.
