Girlfriends

Thursday 5 March 2020, The Void, Sheffield, 6:30pm

Rare Giants are proud to present a special screening of Claudia Weill’s 1978 landmark independent film Girlfriends, in association with SHU Fest.

Aspiring photographer Susan Weinblatt (Melanie Mayron) and would-be poet Anne Munroe (Anita Skinner) are best friends and roommates in Manhattan’s Upper West Side. As the best friends begin to go their separate ways, Girlfriends focuses on what happens to the one that feels left behind.

An underseen cult classic that has influenced recent film and television successes including Girls, Frances Ha and Lady Bird, Girlfriends was described by Stanley Kubrick as ‘a wonderful film’ with ‘the serious, intelligent, sensitive writing and filmmaking that you find in the best directors in Europe.’
