SUMMARY:Julia Reichert: 50 Years in Film: Growing Up Female
DESCRIPTION:Controversial upon its release\, the first feature-length film of the modern women’s movement looks at female socialization through a peek into the lives of six women\, ages 4 to 35\, and the forces that shape them: teachers\, counselors\, advertising\, music\, and marriage. The film was widely used by consciousness-raising groups to generate interest and help explain feminism to a skeptical society. Viewers now have a chance to see how much has changed and how much remains the same. \nFollowed by Union Maids (directed by Julia Reichert\, Jim Klein\, and Miles Mogulescu\, USA\, 1976\, 48 min.) The fight to form industrial unions in the first half of the 20th century through is covered in the stories of three women who leave rural farms for job opportunities in Chicago. The women recount their experiences of working 14 hours a day in factories where management had all the power while workers—especially women and minorities—had none. \nDigital preservation and the restored 16mm prints made possible by The Women’s Film Preservation Fund of New York Women in Film & Television.

SUMMARY:The Silence of Others (El silencio de otros)
DESCRIPTION:Filmed over six years\, The Silence of Others reveals the epic struggle of victims from Spain’s dictatorship (1939-1975) under General Francisco Franco. A powerful and poetic cautionary tale about fascism\, and the dangers of forgetting the past\, the award-winning documentary offers a cinematic portrait of the first attempt in history to prosecute crimes of Franco whose perpetrators have enjoyed impunity for decades due to a 1977 amnesty law. Executive produced by Pedro Almodóvar\, the film brings to light a painful past that Spain is reluctant to face\, even today\, decades after the dictator’s death. \n“A plea against inaction.” – The New Yorker \n“Exceptionally moving… In a style evocative of the best of Patricio Guzmán… this film is a milestone in recovery of a past that is not over—and\, to invoke Faulkner\, not even past.” – IDA Documentary Magazine \n“A stirring documentary… a very necessary story\, delivered with rigor and conviction.” – The Hollywood Reporter \n“This courageous\, moving\, lithe\, necessary and eye-opening documentary dares to demand the truth.” – Cineuropa \n“Unfolding with all the force of a classic political thriller by Costa-Gavras or Francesco Rosi.” – Screen Daily \nRead an interview with the filmmakers.
