'Yentl' to open new screening series

April 05, 2009 Barbra Streisand's "Yentl" will be the first film to screened in the new series "Films That Changed the World," designed to celebrate the sort of socially-conscious filmmaking associated with the late producer-director Stanley Kramer. "The history-making film, the first major studio production ever produced, directed and co-written by its female star, shattered Hollywood's glass ceiling like no other film ever did," said Kat Kramer, Stanley Kramer's daughter. The event also will begin with a tea party at 2 p.m. and will include a panel discussion of how the film contributed to feminist causes.
