Her article on Marion’s transition to sound appears in the summer 2018 edition of the Missouri Review. Lara also wrote the program for the screening of The Red Mill at Kennington Bioscope Silent Film Festival in London and the liner notes for the recent restoration of When Knighthood Was in Flower.
