An Evening of D.W. Griffith Shorts
Presented by the American Cinematheque and Retro Format Films on 8mm
Our outstanding series resumes with films from early 1911. Mary Pickford stars in “The Three Sisters” and “When a Man Loves.” We screen two daring social dramas: “Fate’s Turning,” in which wealthy Charles West rejects waitress Dorothy Bernard (who bears his child out of wedlock), and “The Lily of the Tenements,” which features Bernard as a Lower East Side seamstress sexually exploited by her landlord. Plus “Fisher Folks,” beautifully shot on the beaches of Santa Monica, the suspense classic “The Lonedale Operator” with Blanche Sweet and Bobby Harron and more!
With live musical accompaniment by Cliff Retallick.
