The Rest I Make Up
Monday, October 8 from 7:00 to 9:00 pm
Come to a screening of The Rest I Make Up, presented by Women Make Movies and Real/Time Interventions. Maria Irene Fornes is one of America’s greatest playwrights and most influential teachers. The visionary Cuban-American dramatist constructed astonishing worlds onstage and taught countless students how to connect with their imaginations. When she gradually stops writing due to dementia, an unexpected friendship with filmmaker Michelle Memran reignites her spontaneous creative spirit and triggers a decade-long collaboration that picks up where the pen left off. A panel discussion and Q&A will follow this film.
