Join us for a rare and special screening of The Woman Suffers on International Women's Day in the Centenary Year of the death of Australian Silent Film Pioneer Lottie Lyell (1890-1925).
The Woman Suffers is a controversial melodrama from 1918. Reconstructed on video by the NFSA and screening with an original music score by Donald Hollier; the film is one of the few surviving Silent Cinema Productions of Lottie Lyell and partner Raymond Longford.
Lottie's Legacy encompasses women's strong roles both on screen and behind the camera.
The screening will include an introduction and post-screening Q&A with former NFSA staff member Marilyn Dooley.
A passionate glimpse into Australia’s film and sound history
The National Film and Sound Archive presents three events by the NFSA OWLS in association with U3A. Delve into Australia’s audiovisual history with special insights from former staff, returning to share their passion for the NFSA collection.
The NFSA supports the OWLS (Old Wise Lovely Seniors) in presenting four programs annually for members of U3A and the broader community.
Make it a lunch date: The NFSA café sells a delicious range of toasted sandwiches, cold drinks, coffee and cakes. Enjoy a light lunch or morning tea in our beautiful heritage Art Deco courtyard. Open 8.30 am to 3.00 pm on weekdays and 10.00 am to 2.00 pm on weekends.
