Cupboards of curiosity
Hastie rethinks female authorship within film history by expanding the historical archive to include dollhouses, scrapbooks, memoirs, cookbooks and ephemera. Focusing on women who worked during the silent-film era, she describes how female stars, directors, and others appropriated personal or 'domestic' cultural forms to publicize their own achievements and to reflect on specific films and the broader film industry. Hastie pays particular attention to the actresses Colleen Moore (1900-1988) and Louise Brooks (1906-1985) and Hollywood’s first female director, Alice Guy-Blaché (1873-1968).- Creator
