The Happiest Day of His Life plus Secret Cinema

This installment of Secret Cinema begins with a bonus screening of Ursula Burton's The Happiest Day of His Life (2006), a short that playfully challenges the gender-defined roles associated with a typical wedding created by the Five Sisters team that made Manna from Heaven. (11 mins., 35mm) Secret Cinema screenings feature either a new film never released in Columbus, a new or restored print of a selected classic, or something so rare or unusual it deserves to be screened. Our last Secret Cinema program was the Japanese film An Inn at Osaka (Heinosuke Gosho, 1954), which screened in August.
