A Woman Like That - new film about Artemisia Gentileschi
Fri., Oct. 21 FREE Film Series: Artists from the Collection: A Woman Like That
7:30pm – 9:00pm Little Theatre at the Toledo Museum of Art
Filmmaker Ellen Weissbrod--who will be on-hand at the film screening--merges her own coming-of-middle-age story with her pursuit of the truths behind the legends of 17th century female painter Artemisia Gentileschi’s dramatic art and life. This unconventional but heartfelt hunt upends typical artist biographies and delivers instead a funny, engaging and altogether different kind of documentary. A Woman Like That is a freewheeling tribute to an artist whose own bold life and inspiring message leaps across centuries to speak to us all. The enduring power of storytelling is revealed as the filmmaker learns that who gets to tell the story matters, and that maybe she too can be “a woman like that.” 93 minutes.
