Cinematheque, Peter B. Lewis Theater, Cleveland Institute of Art, 11610 Euclid Avenue
Town Bloody Hall (USA, 1979) Chris Hegedus, D.A. Pennebaker
Infamously macho writer and “prisoner of sex” Norman Mailer debates the women’s liberation movement with Germaine Greer (The Female Eunuch) and three other pioneering feminist intellectuals during a raucous public forum at New York’s Town Hall on April 30, 1971. Celebrated documentary filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker (Don’t Look Back) attended this landmark event, capturing the lively back and forth for posterity. With Betty Friedan, Susan Sontag, and Cynthia Ozick. “Heady, heated, and hilarious…A dazzling display of feminist firepower courtesy of some of the most influential figures of the era, with Mailer relishing his role as the pugnacious provocateur at the center of it all.” –Janus Films. Cleveland revival premiere. DCP. 85 min.
Special admission $11; Cinematheque members, CIA, CSU & ǿմý I.D. holders, and those age 25 & under $8. No passes or twofers.
