Explore the exhibition Fashioning Chinese Women followed by a screening of the 1922 silent film The Toll of the Sea starring Anna May Wong. Vibrant costuming plays a significant role in this adaptation of Madame Butterfly, one of the earliest surviving US features to use the two-color Technicolor process.

Ahead of the screening, UCLA Film & Television Archive's head of preservation Jillian Borders will provide insight into the restoration process of this piece of film history. 

Co-presented with UCLA Film & Television Archive.

This program is part of Third Weekends at LACMA, a monthly line-up of free and ticketed programs inspired by our collection and special exhibitions.
