Women in film and Editors Trilogy

Activity: Talk or presentationInvited talk

Description

In the early years of cinema, women editors were integral in the wild experimentation that occurred across the world, and nowhere more significantly than in Soviet Russia, giving rise to landmark films such as ‘Battleship Potemkin’ (1926) and ‘Man with a Movie Camera’ (1929). Karen Pearlman’s trilogy of short films about historical Soviet women editors (2016, 2018 & 2020) uses their own experimental film styles to tell their stories. Together these films form a witty, informative, inspiring, and entertaining program that travels deftly across the forms of period drama, documentary and hybrid documentary, woven together by the recurrence of key historical figures, cinematic themes and motifs.
