Cinema’s First Nasty Women With Kino Lorbor

Cinema’s First Nasty Women is a four-disc collection of rarely-seen silent films. The collection is produced by Kino Lorber, along with, Le Giornate del Cinema Muto, Women Film Pioneers Project, Eye Filmmuseum, FIC-Silente, and Carleton University. With over fourteen hours of feminist protest, slapstick rebellion and suggestive gender play, Cinema’s First Nasty Women includes 99 European and American silent films, produced from 1898 to 1926. The collection was curated Maggie Hennefeld, Laura Horak, and Elif Rongen-Kaynakçi.

Mediamazing was part of the final stages of production, filming an interview with University of Minnesota Film Professor Maggie Hennefeld. The scene was shot in her Twin Cities home. The scene was filmed on the Sony FS7, with an Aputure 300d as the Key Light.
