This episode covers the Silent Divas screening of Italian silent film Assunta Spina (dirs. Francesca Bertini & Gustavo Serena, 1915) with live score from Italian folk band The Badwills at Tyneside Cinema on 12 May 2019. This was accompanied by documentaries from the BFI archive shown in association with Invisible Women detailed in the episode by Rachel Pronger (Film Programme Coordinator, Tyneside Cinema). Andrew Shail lends some early cinema knowledge, Shona Thomson (A Kind Of Seeing) talks about commissioning the music and Alastair Cole tells Paula Blair about the band, his research and documentary filmmaking.
