Dames on Film

Daria Tessler

This is a 24 page book printed in black and white with a silkscreened cover and liner paper. The book measures about 7 x 9 inches. Frustrated with the low quality of material currently given to female actresses Tessler decided to pick out 6 or 7 films with interesting female characters or that had female writers or directors. She also talka about Natalie Kalmus, a sort of unknown behind the scenes force in Amercian cinema, who had a direct hand shaping the look of a huge number of early technicolor films. Tim Goodyear, of Teenage Dinosaur, did a special feature on Sally Cruikshank.

Self published, silkscreened cover.
