Stanford Repertory Theater Summer Festival Film Series

This is an Archive of a Past Event

As part of their 2018 20th Anniversary Summer Festival, "Nevertheless They Persisted," Stanford Repertory Theater and Stanford Continuing Studies present a free film series focusing on powerful female protagonists who confront patriarchy in its various forms. It will feature three films from two Academy Award winning film directors, the Greek Michael Cacoyannis (his famous ‘trilogy’ based on plays of Euripides) and the German Margarethe von Trotta. Each film is introduced by a Stanford or guest faculty member, who leads a discussion with the audience after the screening. Speacial thanks to the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation for helping mount the 2018 film series.
