Conversing with Claudia Weill about Girlfriends

On Tuesday 16th June at 6.30pm there will be a screening of an amazing feature from 1978 by Claudia Weill - Girlfriends. It’s a beautiful look at the life of the best friend of the star - the character that normally gets left out of the main shot - the one that cracks jokes and supports the lead. It’s a poignant comedy about trying to find one’s way as an artist. The tone, the acting, the camera, the editing allows the audience, the reader, to find themselves in it and ponder on it long after the film has ended. I’m very excited to be talking with Claudia Weill after the screening. Please come - it will be an amazing cinematic event. Rio Film Feminists are running the event it at The Rio and exploring the world of programming and archiving cinema alongside this example of an often overlooked classic of filmmaking from the 1970s.
