VHS VAULT Presents: VOTES FOR WOMEN with Pamela Adlon & Sarah Heyward
Cinephiles, culture vultures, and curiosity seekers take heart, the Vidiots Foundation's new "VHS Vault" screening series monthly presents films from our rare collection for your viewing pleasure. Each screening is followed by an extended conversation featuring a panel of filmmakers, programmers, critics and experts. Based on more than thirty-years of meticulous collection, Vidiots' library holds thousands of rare titles guaranteed to make you think, feel and see the cinematic landscape in new and different ways. A combination of socially-conscious, entertaining and educational films speak to the eclectic nature of Los Angeles and cater to the city's diverse interests, cultures, and generations. This monthly screening series was made possible by a grant from the City of Santa Monica Cultural Affairs Division.
This month's VHS Vault selection, the 1997 short documentary VOTES FOR WOMEN is a fascinating and concise account of the decades-long struggle for women's suffrage. Featuring rare archival footage, the film leads up to the contemporary women's movement. Following the screening, acclaimed actress/creator Pamela Adlon (BETTER THINGS, LOUIE) and celebrated writer/producer Sarah Heyward (GIRLS) will take part in a lively, and undoubtedly inspirational, conversation about our post-election state of mind, the current climate for women in entertainment, and where we go from here.

PAMELA ADLON
Creator of the insightful and hilarious F/X series BETTER THINGS (recently renewed for a second season), Pamela Adlon is also an actress, voice actress, producer, and screenwriter. Perhaps most famous for voicing the character Bobby Hill on KING OF THE HILL, Adlon has also had memorable roles on LOUIE, CALIFORNICATION, and in the 2016 Sundance Audience Award-winning feature film FIRST GIRL I LOVED. With BETTER THINGS, a semi-autobiographical show about a single mom and her three daughters, Adlon's singular and insightful point of view comes at just the right moment.
SARAH HEYWARD
Sarah Heyward is a writer and producer for the critically acclaimed HBO series GIRLS. A member of the writing staff since the show's first season, she wrote the episodes "Bad Friend," "Incidentals," and "Female Author." Heyward's first feature-length script, SISTER-IN-LAW sold to Good Universe in 2013. Before becoming a screenwriter, Heyward attended Harvard College and received her M.F.A. in Fiction from the Iowa Writers' Workshop where she was the recipient of the Maytag Fellowship as well as the Richard Yates Short Story Prize.
