Description

What do artists like Colette, Gertrude Stein, Djuna Barnes and Alice B. Toklas have in common? They were all part of an unprecedented influx of creative women— pioneering writers, painters, photographers, editors—who flocked to the Left Bank of Paris in the Roaring Twenties. Greta Schilling’s award-winning Paris Was a Woman will transport you to the City of Lights during its most magical era, telling the inspiring story of a hugely influential artistic community that would help shape the decades to come.

Stick around after the screening for a Skype Q&A with Lisa Pasold, host of Discovery World's Paris Next Stop and host of our Fall 2017 Curious Minds Series "Learning From Paris.
