story of his own family across generations. His father's role as a white

adoption. Original score by Don Byron. Thursday January 12th at

NEWSREEL Feminist Films from the 1970s - Newly Preserved - Screened at
Walter Reade this past October!
A great event that premiered the newly preserved 16mm prints of the Newsreel films Janie's Janie and
Make Out (1970) , along with a panel including former Newsreel makers.
These were screened with another landmark film, Growing Up Female in a
program made possible by the Women's Film Preservation Fund of the New York
Women in Film and Television organization. Janie's Janie is a personal
documentary that follows Jane Giese, a working class woman in Newark, who comes
to realize thatshe has to take control of her own life, after years of physical
and mental abuse. An empowering documentary, Jane's daughters came to the
screening. Make Out features the interior monologue of a young
woman as she "consents" to making out in a car. Though made over 40 years
ago, these films still resonate and the opportunity to watch pristine 16mm was
wonderful.
The screening was followed by a panel discussion, moderated by
Marjorie Rosen, with award winning filmmakers Deborah Shaffer, Julia Reichart,
Stephanie Palewski, Marily Mulford, Jim Klein and Peter Barton. The
evening was dedicated to director Geri Ashur, Jane Giese, and Lois Bianchi, who
shepherded the preservation project for NYWIFT.
