21c and LFS Monthly Film Series: First Timers
First time flicks by noted directors: Scorsese, Polanski, Henson, and more!

In Gallery 2, off the Atrium Gallery
Free and open to the public
This month for the Film Series, 21c and LFS invite you to see the First Timers:
from Academy Award Winners to unknown filmmakers. Whether you're familiar or not
with such regarded and perhaps infamous directors as Martin Scorsese, Roman Polanski,
or Jim Henson, seeing a prominent filmmaker's first short movies often reveal early
stylistic choices and experimentation that would later set them apart as the icons
of cinema.
Included amongst these distinguished filmmakers are short films of those who pursued
other careers, such as designers Charles and Ray Eames who experimented with cinema
in conjunction with their design work. Come join us for a rare chance to see the
unknown work of all-too-well-known auteurs.
The following films will be screened on 16mm:
- Jim Henson's Time Piece (1964-5)
- Frank Mouris Frank Film (1973)
- Roman Polanski The Fat and the Lean (1961)
- Charles and Ray Eames The Day of the Dead (1957)
- Martin Scorsese What’s a Nice Girl Like You Doing in a Place Like This? (1963)
- plus more from early filmmakers who eventually found other careers…
21c is proud to partner with the Louisville Film Society in the continuing Monthly
Film Series. LFS is a publicly supported non-profit organization; support comes
from memberships, event admission, advertisement, contributions, donated materials,
