Anthology Film Archives hosts the NYC theatrical premiere run of James N. Kienitz Wilkins's new feature film, The Misconceived, presented via a 35mm print. Written by Robin Schavoir and Wilkins, and produced by Emily Davis and Joey Frank, the film is described as a follow-up to The Plagiarists (2019) and evokes Norman Mailer’s Maidstone. The screenings include several opportunities for audience engagement, with Q&A sessions featuring the filmmakers and cast, moderated by various guests from the arts and media.
