SUMMARY:Dr. Horak Presents the Ottawa Premiere of Cinema’s First Nasty Woman at the Mayfair Theater
DESCRIPTION:Ottawa Premiere of Cinema’s First Nasty Women: March 18



The International Film Festival of Ottawa presents CINEMA'S FIRST NASTY WOMEN: GENDER ADVENTURES



Saturday, March 18, 2023 at 7PM
Mayfair Theater, 1074 Bank Street, Ottawa



A Ho-Chunk actress performing spectacular stunts, a cross-dressing girl spy, and a Brokeback Mountain story made in 1911!



Not to mention a gun-toting ranch owner in leopard-print chaps and a topsy-turvy wedding set “100 years from now–when men have become more like women and women more like men”!



Check out this selection of films from CINEMA'S FIRST NASTY WOMEN, a collection of 99 rarely seen silent films about feminist protest, anarchic slapstick destruction, and suggestive gender play that the New York Times calls "a triumph"!



Films include:




The Red Girl and the Child (1910, 17 min.), from Museum of Modern Art - starring Lilian St. Cyr (Ho-Chunk)



The Girl Spy Before Vicksburg (1910, 15 min), from Eye Filmmuseum - starring writer-director-producer Gene Gaunthier



A Range Romance (1911, 13 min.), from Library of Congress - performers unknown



The Night Rider (1920, 25 min), from Lobster Films - starring Texas Guinan



What’s the World Coming To? (1926, 23 mi,), from the San Francisco Silent Film Festival - starring Katherine Grant




Total runtime: 92 min.



The program will feature live musical accompaniment by pianist Dana Reason and percussionist Peter Valsalmis.



Carleton Film Studies Professor Laura Horak, co-curator of Cinema's First Nasty Women, will introduce the screening.
