Glazer Hall will host a special Feb. 25 screening of the documentary "Ron Delsener Presents," a behind-the-scenes look at the promoter who worked with some of the biggest names in music.

The event will feature a post-film Q&A with director Jake Sumner and music supervisor Randall Poster at the theater at 70 Royal Poinciana Way in Royal Poinciana Plaza.

The film chronicles Delsener's six-decade career as a concert promoter, starting with club shows and progressing to large-scale tours and stadium performances, according to a release. He has promoted acts including The Beatles at Forest Hills Tennis Stadium, the late David Bowie at Carnegie Hall, and the Simon & Garfunkel reunion concert in New York's Central Park.
