Clark + Images Cinema Film Series: New Hollywood Auteurs-Girlfriends
Date/Time
Location
The Clark Art Institute (225 South Street, Williamstown, MA 01267, Williamstown MA)
The Clark partners with Images Cinema to present a film series that captures the explosion of creativity, critical acclaim, and box office success that Hollywood directors found after the fall of the studio system.
The series continues with "Girlfriends" (1978). When Susan (Melanie Mayron) suddenly loses her best friend and roommate to marriage, she’s left struggling to find her footing. An aspiring artist scraping by as a bar mitzvah photographer on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, Susan feels adrift in both her personal and romantic life. Directed by Claudia Weill, “Girlfriends” is a landmark of American independent cinema. (Run time: 1 hour, 26 minutes)
Free. Accessible seats available; for information, call 413 458 0524.
