// A Talk, with Film Clips, by UVM Lane Series Director Natalie Neuert

Director Billy Wilder

Natalie Neuert will discuss how these Weimar Era Jewish directors became three of the most successful, influential, and revered artists in American cinema. Her talk will include a look at their early German work; their arrival and establishment of careers in Hollywood; and their lasting impact on the American film industry.

Neuert will also highlight some of the stars — and fellow refugees — whose work is entwined with theirs: Marlene Dietrich, Pola Negri, Peter Lorre, Hedy Lamarr, and share clips of a few films that made these directors great.

Director Ernst Lubitsch

Director Fritz Lang
