PANEL DISCUSSION: The Original and Best Girls of Film Comedy
NFT 3
Monday 10 March 8:20PM
Joint ticket available with The Vagabond Queen £12.50, concs £9.25
How do we evaluate the contribution of female directors, stars or writers to the success of silent film comedy? Were the roles available to women - in front of or behind the camera - different before the coming of sound? What was lost or gained for female creativity between silent slapstick and the screwball comedies of the 30s? Such questions, shedding more light on the careers of the witty women illuminating our screens this month, are addressed by the likes of eminent film historian Kevin Brownlow, comedienne Lucy Porter, film critic Jay Weissberg and curator Bryony Dixon.
