cargill Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 For New Yorkers, the Film Forum is showing the Anna Pavlova film Dumb Girl of Portici on September 16th. http://filmforum.org/film/the-dumb-girl-of-portico-lois-weber-film Link to comment
sandik Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Go see this if you can -- it ran here this June and was such a revelation. When people talk about how Ashton kept wanting "more bending," they always assume it was from his early view of Isadora Duncan, but Pavlova was in that camp as well. She was all over the screen.

Dreamer Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 There is also a 2-3 minute opening scene of Pavlova dancing. Truly a treat. Link to comment
