Details
Despite making hundreds of silent films that captivated audiences from Naples to New York, Italy's first female director, Elvira Notari, was relegated to the margins of film history for half a century.
A pioneer of Neapolitan cinema, she created over sixty features blending popular culture and unvarnished realism. With the arrival of sound film and constrained by Fascist censorship, she abandoned cinema in 1930 and her work fell into silence.
Weaving together historical memory and contemporary rediscovery, Elvira Notari: Beyond Silence paints a vivid, prismatic portrait of a film pioneer whose vision continues to resonate in the present.
The screening on Wednesday 6 May will be followed by a Q&A.
