Lillian Gish
Jeanne Moreau, 1984, 90 min
UK premiere of the new restoration

Introduced by Ehsan Khoshbakht

“A rarely seen directorial work by legendary French actor Jeanne Moreau, this film is a cinematic dialogue with another iconic performer from a different era and country: Lillian Gish, famously known as the “First Lady of the Silent Screen.” The American silent film star reflects on her career, which began in 1913, recalling her early experiences as a child actress, the groundbreaking production of The Birth of a Nation by D.W. Griffith, and much more.” – E.K.
