Her bold feminist sensibility and often-controversial subject matter is leavened with a quirky humor. In this early dance film, Rainer examines the contradictions of public and private personas through the story of a lion tamer from Budapest who comes to New York to become a choreographer. 1976, Yvonne Rainer, USA, 90 min, 16mm.<\/p>\n<p>The program will be introduced by Jonathan Walley, a film scholar and professor in the Cinema Department at Denison University in Ohio. His current work is on a book\u00a0about radical new conceptions of the film medium in the avant-garde during the sixties and seventies and the role of avant-garde filmmakers in the \u201cexpanded arts\u201d activities of that period.
