Join us for an evening of films and filmmakers in honor of the anniversaries of coeducation at Yale College and the Yale graduate schools. “Directed by Yale Women: A Celebration of Women Filmmakers at Yale” presents films made by Yale alumnae, from pioneering animator Mary Ellen Bute ’26 DRA, to Alexis Krasilovsky ’71, whose film END OF THE ART WORLD includes legendary artists such as Andy Warhol and Jasper Johns. Phyllis Chillingworth ’69 ART will present animated shorts she made as a student in the School of Art and Architecture, as well as the master’s thesis shorts of her late friend, Carolyn Lamont ’70 ART.
