What?
You are cordially invited to an evening devoted to Dorothy Arzner, an amazing figure of Hollywood cinema. Arzner, one of the only two women directors of the classical era, was a trailblazing filmmaker and a queer artist who created a number of films showcasing female protagonists. By screening Dance, Girl, Dance (1940) we celebrate her work before the major retrospective of Arzner organized in Wrocław by the American Film Festival. The festival is the partner of this event and the Festival’s director Urszula Śniegowska will greet the audience before the film. After the screening, we will discuss Arzner, her cinema, and her career with ASC and AFF experts, trying to provide a cultural framework for understanding Hollywood and gender in the classical era.
