GREY GARDENS: Women in Film Fest @ FOMO Cinema

Sunday 29. March at 18:30 - 20:05

FOMO Secret Cinema, Tbilisi

Albert and David Maysles | 1975 | USA | 1h35m | English language with English subtitles

GREY GARDENS offers an observational portrait of Edith and “Little Edie” Beale, whose lives unfold within the decaying estate that gives the film its title. Eschewing conventional documentary structure, the Maysles brothers allow their subjects to shape the film through performance, conversation, and the rhythms of daily life.

The result is a work that occupies a space between documentation and self-presentation, in which identity is continually negotiated in front of the camera. The film’s enduring appeal lies in its openness, inviting multiple interpretations of its subjects without imposing a singular framework.

As part of our Women in Film Festival, GREY GARDENS is included for its complex engagement with performance and self-fashioning. It foregrounds women as both subjects and authors of their own image, complicating the boundary between authenticity and construction. Its significance rests in this tension rather than in resolution.
