Though it unnerved censors when it was released in 1980, Solo Sunny, a film about a single woman trying to find herself, soon became a pop-culture hit in socialist East Germany. Today at 12:30 p.m. at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art (4420 Warwick), Larson Powell, assistant professor of German and film studies at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, leads a lecture about the movie and discusses how director Konrad Wolf tried to reach East German women using ideas from Hollywood. "It really touches on a lot of feminine issues," says Beth Harris, the Kemper's education curator. "I think the broader theme is finding your way as a single female in your career and finding your identity." The free event is part of the Kemper's "Feed Your Mind" lunch series. Reservations are required; call 816-753-5784. An optional $10 box lunch from the museum's café may also be reserved in advance.
