June 15, 2012
Bryn Mawr, PA—Come discover the magic behind one of Hollywood’s most intriguing classics, All About Eve, with a 35 mm screening on Thursday, June 28 at 7:00 pm. For those who want to learn more about the showbiz drama, Bryn Mawr Film Institute will also host a one-night Summer Classics Seminar at 6:30 pm, taught by Alice Bullitt, M.A. Built around the screening of the film, this seminar will include an introductory lecture, a guided discussion, and readings about the film, in addition to the in-theater screening and popcorn and a drink.
All About Eve stars Bette Davis as Margo Channing, a legendary New York actress whose life and career are slowly taken over by a young fan (Anne Baxter). Winner of six Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director, All About Eve set the record for receiving the most Oscar nominations of all time, one of which went to Bette Davis for her most memorable performance. In addition to being shown in conjunction with the Summer Classics Seminar, All About Eve is part of Bryn Mawr Film Institute’s “Who’s That Lady?” series, which pays tribute to two of Rita Hayworth and Bette Davis’s most beloved film performances.
Alice Bullitt will teach this Summer Classics Seminar on All About Eve. Alice received her M.A. in English Literature and Film Studies from Claremont Graduate University in Southern California. She joined Bryn Mawr Film Institute’s staff in 2005 and, as Programming Manager, curated the theater’s Cinematheque series. Now a member of Bryn Mawr Film Institute’s faculty and board, she has taught classes on topics including literary adaptation, melodrama, and portrayals of vampires onscreen.
