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 kicks off with Lady Bird (2017), directed by Greta Gerwig and starring Saoirse Ronan as a headstrong teenager navigating her senior year of high school in Sacramento. A semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story, the film captures the push and pull between ambition and home, independence and family. Gerwig’s directional debuit was praised for its writing, emotional honesty, and personal yet universal themes. (Run time: 1 hour, 34 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.
