"It would be tempting to hail Noah Baumbach as the filmmaking voice of his generation," writes Scott Foundas in the Walker Art Center Magazine, "were Baumbach himself not so likely to scoff at the idea."
Baumbach has been an important figure in the independent film scene since he made his directorial debut in 1995 at age 25 with the critically acclaimed "Kicking and Screaming."
He's gone on to direct several notable films, including "The Squid and the Whale," and has co-written two movies with Wes Anderson: "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou" and "The Fantastic Mr. Fox."
Baumbach will speak Friday night at the Walker Art Center to conclude the retrospective on his work, "Visibly Human," which has been running since March 15.
His newest film, "Frances Ha," will be released May 17.
