Can Dialectics Break Bricks Cinema: Panel Story (1980)

Sunday April 13th 2014, Can Dialectics Break Bricks Cinema by Jeffrey Babcock: Panel Story (Panelstory aneb Jak se rodí sídliste). Directed by Věra Chytilová, 1980, 96 minutes, in Czech with English subtitles. Door opens at 8pm, film begins at 9pm.

Women are generally marginalized, if not downright ignored, from the official film history books.
