The Forty-Year-Old Version and Radha Blank's Film Inspiration

Series Site

Radha Blank won the U.S. dramatic directing award at the 2020 Sundance film festival for her debut The Forty-Year-Old Version, a personal film about the artistic journey of a playwright, rapper, and drama teacher. Blank’s artful black-and-white film draws from her life and from a deep love and knowledge of movies. To accompany the long-awaited NYC theatrical engagement of The Forty-Year-Old Version, Blank has made an eclectic selection of movies that served as inspirations to her own filmmaking. All evening screenings will be accompanied by a selection of hip-hop videos curated by Blank.
