Expectations are running high for the Outfest world premiere of THE LADIES ALMANACK, as they would for any film based on a book of 1920s Paris by Djuna Barnes, with a volunteer cast that includes Eileen Myles, Fannie Sosa, Deborah Bright, and Guinevere Turner—as well as Hélène Cixous, playing herself.

THE LADIES ALMANACK, written, directed, photographed, and produced by Daviel Shy, screens on Wednesday, July 12, at 9:45 pm.

DIRECTORS GUILD, 7920 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles.
