Leeds Film are delighted to partner with Sony Home Entertainment to give away two bundles of newly released Blu-rays from The Criterion Collection's exceptional series of classic and contemporary cinema each month.
For a chance to win June's new releases, answer the following question: Which 1933 film starring Katharine Hepburn was directed by Dorothy Arzner (director of Dance, Girl, Dance)? Please email answers to leeds.film@leeds.gov.uk by midnight on Friday 26 June.
June's releases include:
Husbands (1970) - The trailblazing independent auteur John Cassavetes (Opening Night) pushes his raw, uncompromising emotional realism to its limit in this unflinching portrait of masculinity in crisis.
Scorsese Shorts (1963 - 1978) - A compilation of five early short films by Martin Scorsese, that offer a fascinating window onto his artistic development. Spanning the years from Scorsese’s time at NYU in the mid-1960s to the late ’70s, when he was emerging as one of the era’s most electrifying talents.
Dance, Girl, Dance (1940) - Dorothy Arzner, the sole woman to work as a director in the Hollywood studio system of the 1930s and early ’40s, brings a subversive feminist sensibility to this juicily entertaining backstage melodrama. A behind-the footlights look at friendship, jealousy, and ambition in the ruthless world of show business.
Competition open to UK residents only.
