Event Description

Desperately Seeking Susan

1985. USA. Directed by Susan Seidelman. Screenplay by Leora Barish. With Rosanna Arquette, Aidan Quinn, Madonna. Through a series of missteps, a New Jersey housewife loses her memory, convincing herself and a handsome man, Dez, that she is an elusive hipster. Shot on location in NYC’s downtown scene, many NYWIFT members (including Seidelman) worked on this film. Madonna’s “Into the Groove” performance helped launch her career and made the song a club classic. 104 min.

Matrimony’s Speed Limit

1913. USA. Directed by Alice Guy-Blaché. A man believes he must marry by noon or lose his inheritance. Alice Guy-Blaché, the world’s first female filmmaker, was a key figure in the development of narrative film. She directed and produced hundreds of films, and was the first (and, so far, the only) woman to own and run her own film studio. Preserved with support from NYWIFT’s Women’s Film Preservation Fund. Silent, with musical accompaniment. 14 min.
