Sparrows (1926) Directed by William Beaudine
Thursday - March 28 - 7:00 p.m. Mary Pickford’s penultimate silent film is a Dickensian tale of orphans living on a baby farm run by an evil caretaker. The movie boasts highly stylized sets, including an ominous-looking swamp, and atmospheric cinematography that illustrates the growing influence of German expressionist cinema on American filmmakers in the 1920s. One of the actress’s darker-themed pictures is considered by many to be her best, including her business partner and onscreen rival Charlie Chaplin. The feature is preceded by the Sparrows trailer and outtakes. (35mm. 88 min. Not Rated) 35mm restoration by the Library of Congress. Live piano accompaniment provided by Philip Carli.

Christel Schmidt, editor of Mary Pickford: Queen of the Movies (co-published by the Library of Congress and the University Press of Kentucky) will present the program and sign copies of her book.
Masculinity/Femininity (2012) Directed by Russell Sheaffer
Saturday - March 30 - 7:00 p.m. Masculinity/Femininity is an experimental film based project that aims to question normative notions of gender and features original material from over twenty groundbreaking artists and scholars. Shot primarily on Super 8mm film, the project asks its participants to “perform” (in any way they like) a piece that deals with the issues at the heart of normativity and gender construction. Each performance is profoundly different, but together the project acts as a document of gender deconstruction and exploration. This is a feedback screening of the current work-in-progress cut of the film. Director Russell Sheaffer is scheduled to be present. (HD Cam. 88 min. Not rated.) This screening is sponsored in part by The Kinsey Institute. Russell Sheaffer is an experimental film and documentary maker currently working on his Ph.D. at Indiana University. Recently, a film he co-wrote and co-directed with James Franco, Masculinity & Me, was an official selection of the 2011 Torino LGBT Film Festival and was featured in Franco’s solo exhibition, “The Dangerous Book Four Boys” (where the NY Times deemed the piece “the best by far”). His films have screened at venues such as the MoMA, Queer Lisboa, the University of Wisconsin at Madison, and Anthology Film Archives.
