Public DVD Screenings and Panel Discussion - Alice Guy Blaché: After the (Whitney) Exhibition

In the first major retrospective of her work this year at the Whitney Museum, the public discovered the two-continent career of Silent Era producer-director-writer Alice Guy Blaché. Scholars of early cinema will screen examples of her films and comment on her remarkable, prolific career in Paris at the Gaumont Company (1896--1907) and in Fort Lee, New Jersey, at her own Solax Company (1910--1912).
