La Diva Divina: Fatale, Hysterical and Fragile

The Italian divas of the 1910s were the first female stars of the silver screen, but sadly they’ve been largely forgotten. The Filmmuseum has put together this three-week ode to the origins of such film archetypes as the ‘femme fatale’, the ‘femme fragile’ and the ‘femme hysterique’. Nine films (including ‘Rapsodia Satanica’) are being shown, all with a live music accompaniment.
