Get directions to the Clark
In celebration of A Room of Her Own: Women Artist-Activists in Britain, 1875–1945, the Clark presents a selection of films with female directors and leads.
The series continues with Shrek (2001), directed by Andrew Adamson and Vicky Jenson. A subversive take on a classic fairy tale, the film follows an ogre, a talkative donkey, and a spirited princess who challenge storybook conventions. Jenson, one of the first women to co-direct a major animated feature, shaped the film’s sharp humor and heartfelt core. A critical and commercial success, Shrek won the first Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. (Run time: 1 hour, 30 minutes)
Free. Bring a picnic and your own seating. This film is shown outdoors at dusk, around 8:10 pm. In the case of inclement weather, the showing will be held in the Manton Research Center auditorium. For accessibility concerns, call 413 458 0524.
