As part of their "Readings on Cinema" series, the Pacific Film Archives is bringing
Daisuke Miyao, author of
Sessue Hayakawa: Silent Cinema and Transnational Stardom to introduce three key Hayakawa films:
The Cheat,
Forbidden Paths, and
The Devil's Claim. The films will be screened February 9 and 10, 2008.
I look forward to meeting Miyao in person after interviewing him over the phone for
The Evening Class. Our conversation can be found
here.
