Presentation at the 42nd St. Cipriani will include tributes from Stiller’s friends and colleagues along with scenes from his movies.

The museum holds an annual salute to a selected filmmaker; Mel Gibson, Dustin Hoffman, Martin Scorsese and Elia Kazan are among those who have been feted in the past.
