Coffee will be available for purchase before the Appleton Museum screening. Light refreshments will be available for purchase before the Webber Center screening, and a discussion session will follow the film. A 1987 Mexican film, Frida is a film-portrait of Frida Kahlo, the Mexican painter considered to be one of the most important artists of the 20th century. Structured as a flow of vibrantly colored images, the film circles through Kahlo's memories of a crippling childhood accident, her stormy marriage with muralist Diego Rivera, her passionate involvement in radical politics, and her fascination with her own striking features and twisted body. Admission to the Webber Center screening is free.
Donations are welcome, however, and needed to support the series.
The screening at the Appleton Museum is free to museum members and Film Series members, and requires museum admission for all others. Started in 1962 and sponsored by the CFCC Foundation, the CFCC Film Series is the oldest college film series in the state, offered to stimulate a cultural appreciation of the best foreign and American films of the past, as well as recent productions not readily accessible to the general public.
