ABSTRACT

For the past two years, Maggie Hennefeld, Laura Horak, and Elif Rongen-Kaynakçi have been curating Cinema’s First Nasty Women: a 4-disc DVD/Blu-ray set that features 99 archival silent films and will be released by Kino Lorber in August 2022 (see https://wfpp.columbia.edu/cinemas-first-nasty-women/). In this co-written archive piece, they put theory into action and share tantalizing snippets from the collection. Women combust out of the chimney, cross-dress as men, take over the government, and exhibit their outsized desires in ways that only cinema could make visible – and that remain visible due to the passionate labor of feminist scholars, researchers, archivists, and cinephiles.
