[Amélie Garin-Davet]

Hello,

Would it be possible to include this information in your newsletter?

*Retrospective Germaine Dulac at Film Society of Lincoln Center, August
24-30*
*A rare opportunity to see her groundbreaking films*
*With live score by Leila Bordreuil on August 24 *

Germaine Dulac was a feminist and socialist artist and thinker of the 1920s
and ’30s whose bold experimentation helped legitimize cinema as an art form
that would be on the same footing as painting, dance, theater, and music.
Best known for *The Seashell and the Clergyman*, her 1927 collaboration
with Antonin Artaud, Dulac straddled the worlds of commercial and
experimental cinema, playing with narration, montage, and visual effects,
and making the case, in both films and writing, for a “Pure Cinema”
approach that took full advantage of the medium’s unique properties. For
her, only cinema was up to the task of capturing the spirit of a generation
scarred by World War I, who were emancipated by the new freedoms of the
1920s, and whose daily lives had been shaped irreversibly by
industrialization and social and cultural modernity. The Film Society and
the Cultural Services of the French Embassy are pleased to present a survey
of work by this pioneering figure of French avant-garde and queer cinema.

Free roundtable discussion on Dulac and Film History, on Saturday, August
25, at 5:30pm, featuring feminist film scholars Sandy Flitterman-Lewis (Rutgers
U.), Jane Gaines (Columbia U.), and Tami Williams (U. Wisconsin-Milwaukee).
