DESCRIPTION:\n	With live piano accompaniment by Makia Matsumura \n	\n	\n	Th
 e modern detective genre deals with the problem of identification in a soc
 iety where identity is no \n	\n	longer emblazoned in outward appearances. 
 The arrest of a criminal depends not only upon capture\, but also\, and ev
 en more fundamentally\, on identification. Acclaimed film scholar Tom Gunn
 ing will trace early film criminals’ visual identity\, focusing on their a
 cts of disappearance and transformation that owe much to the realms of mag
 ic and early trick film. Under special scrutiny will be the black costume\
 , the body suit\, and masks worn by such nemeses of the law as Fantômas an
 d Irma Vep of the Vampire gang in popular French crime serials of the 1910
 s. The program includes a special screening of the short film The Pearl (L
 e Perle) (Dir. Henri d’Ursel\, 1929\, Belgium. Archival 35mm print from th
 e Royal Belgium Film Archive). The Pearl is a Belgian Surrealist dazzler\,
  with a pearl necklace at the center of the action. The movie stars a youn
 g group of female criminals who are secret residents in a hotel where they
  steal from rich guests\; the film plays with disguises and multiple ident
 ities. \n	\n	\n	Free with museum admission. \n	\n
