Before Flight's local premiere at the Philadelphia Film Festival, Zemeckis will talk about the stories behind his film stories with film critic Carrie Rickey. A highlight reel of scenes from Zemeckis' films will open the conversation, during which the director will talk about a specific sequence in Flight and take questions from the audience.
