New York Premiere of the new 4K Restoration

Saint Joan was restored by the Academy Film Archive and The Film Foundation. Restoration funding provided by the Hobson/Lucas Family Foundation.

Plucked from obscurity for her first film role, a teenaged Jean Seberg leads the charge as Joan of Arc in Otto Preminger’s adaptation of the George Bernard Shaw play. With a script by Graham Greene and performances by Richard Widmark, John Gielgud, and Anton Walbrook, the lush production follows the rise and fall (and rise again) of the 15th-century heroine on her way to becoming a patron saint. The film was newly restored in 4K from the 35mm original picture negative.

Academy Museum film programming is generously funded by the Richard Roth Foundation.
