Loyola will host an advance screening of academy award winner Morgan Neville’s documentary “Man on the Run” in Nunemaker auditorium Feb. 10 at 7:30 p.m. A limited number of 100 free tickets will be made available to Loyola students with a special access code. 

“Partnering once again with Loyola University allows us to reach students, artists, and film lovers in a dynamic shared space, and we are proud to continue building that relationship through screenings that inspire conversation, curiosity, and connection,” said Dodd Loomis, the Executive Director of the New Orleans Film Society.

This event is presented by the New Orleans Film Society, and it gives students the opportunity to see the film before it’s release on Prime Video. 

According to a press release from the New Orleans Film Society, “This exclusive presentation reinforces NOFS’s commitment to making major cinematic works and film industry leaders accessible to New Orleanians.”

“Man on the Run” chronicles Paul McCartney’s creative evolution as he left the Beatles and founded Wings with his late wife, Linda McCartney. 

“The film offers an intimate portrait of McCartney’s artistic rebirth through the formation of Wings with Linda McCartney, drawing from rare archival footage, unreleased music, and unprecedented behind the scenes access to one of the most pivotal periods in modern music history,” according to a press release from NOFS.  

The screening will be followed by a conversation between Scott Rodger, McCartney’s longtime manager and a producer of the film. Rodger will speak with Jonathan McHugh, NOFS Board Member, Hilton-Baldridge Eminent Scholar, and chair of music industry studies in the school of music and theatre professions.
