This inspired pair of screenings was suggested by Anahit Behrooz to coincide with the publication of her new book BFFs (more info below). Both films are key works from female directors that have made a clear mark in cinema history, and Daughters of the Dust was recently included in Sight & Sound's 100 Greatest Films of All Time poll. Anahit will join us to introduce both films, and take part in a discussion following One Sings, the Other Doesn’t.
About BFFs
BFFs is an examination of the power of female friendship, not as something lesser, but as a site of radical intimacy, as told through the cultural touchstones around us. From coming-of-age tales through physical intimacy and discovering personhood to break ups and parting of ways, BFFs considers the vast significance of our friendships through the likes of Frances Ha, Booksmart, The Virgin Suicides and more.
