Film Discussion Series with Marcus Renna Online
Join us for an September film discussion series via Zoom! Discussions will be led by Marcus Renna, and we'll take a look at three historical dramas that focus on strong female leads. These films are set in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. Our first film will be:
The true story of Maria Theresia Paradis, a gifted pianist and friend of Mozart, who lost her eye-sight as a child, but regains it through an innovative medical technique. But this miracle comes at a price, and she is forced to choose between an ordinary life in the light or an extraordinary life in the darkness, as a virtuoso.
Nominated for the Platform Prize at the Toronto International Film Festival. Nominated for Best Film at the San Sebastian International Film Festival.
