FREE Film Screening: Dorothy Arzner

Arzner began directing films in the silent era during the 1920s. At the time, the rigid moral codes that would later be applied to movies were not in effect and filmmakers had more leeway to depict bodies, explore sexuality, and break taboos. This documentary examines her life, her films, and her contributions to innovations in filmmaking. Directors and sisters, Clara and Julia Kuperberg, who run Wichita Films, are dedicated to retrieving and restoring the history of women in filmmaking to the official record. Event Url
