A 1977 encounter of Ukrainian-born Soviet filmmaker Larisa Shepit'ko with the avant-garde action-performance art of American post-war feminist Carolee Shneeman entitled The Interior Scroll reveals impasses in Soviet thought about the relationship between gender and liberation, art and politics. This talk places archival research into that encounter, and the shock it produced, into the context of divergent paths in post-war feminism and in modernist and avant-garde cinema. Join colleagues in LCSL for the first in the 2024 series of Forum on 15 talks on translation. Reception to follow.
