Program Description

Event Details

During the 1920s, Germany was one of the most important and innovative filmmaking countries in the world.  In the few years before Hitler and Ministry of Propaganda head Joseph Goebbels destroyed German film culture in 1933, many of the country's creatives produced their most daring work.  These progressive films, all made between 1930 and 1933, flew in the face of Nazi ideology.

On this night, we will be watching Leontine Sagan & Carl Froelich's 1931 film "Mädchen in Uniform" starring an all-female cast.

A sensitive girl is sent to an all-girls boarding school and develops a romantic attachment to one of her teachers.
