At the Old Greenbelt Theatre: A documentary searching for Alice Guy-Blaché, who, at 23 was the world’s first female director, became a powerful figure in film from the late 1890s to 1919, then vanished. Featuring images from films more than 100 years old and interviews with modern-day filmmakers and academics, it is both a tribute and a detective story, tracing how an extraordinary artist faded from memory and how she was rediscovered.
Published continuously since the New Deal City of Greenbelt was founded in 1937, the News Review is delivered free to most Greenbelt residents. In 1970 we won a landmark First Amendment case in the Supreme Court.
