IOIC Night Session: «The Smiling Madame Beudet»

With La souriante Madame Beudet (France 1922, 42 min.), Germaine Dulac created a prime example of an impressionist film, a visual symphony that operates with dissolves, blurs, light shows, deforming prisms and unusual camera angles. The film is considered one of the first feminist silent films in film history.

We will show the silent movie with a new live scoring by the Acid Amazonians, a Zurich-based performance trio that has set out to break with social norms by means of electronic improvised music.
