Between the Lines 15

Part of Trailblazers
Joan Micklin Silver, USA, 1977, 101m.

The screening on Sunday the 17th of November will be introduced by writer and lecturer Dr Julia Wagner.


“All the news behind the news… and some hippie smut.”


In Between the Lines Joan Micklin Silver (herself a former reporter for the Village Voice) creates a lived-in portrait of the smoky dive bars, record stores, pawn shops and strip clubs frequented by a ragtag group of broke but passionate journalists in the dying days of their alternative newspaper. Featuring debut performances from John Heard, Joe Morton, Marilu Henner, Raymond J. Barrie, and Jeff Goldblum (to name just a few), Between The Lines is a top-tier 1970s hangout movie, offering a comedic take on the importance of fighting for what’s important to you when the sticks are down.


Dr Julia Wagner is a lecturer and writer specialising in film and television. She holds a PhD in Film Studies from UCL and is author of Hester Street (BFI/Bloomsbury, forthcoming 2025), a BFI Classics book about Joan Micklin Silver’s debut film.
