The American Cinematheque presents a tribute to the iconoclastic French director Jacques Demy (1931-1990). A member of the French New Wave, Demy made an impressive feature debut with the film “Lola,” in 1960, which he dedicated to Max Ophuls as a tribute to the latter's masterpiece “Lola Montes.” In his original work, he has shown tender romanticism and a visual style that could be described as deocrative and elegant.

One of Britain’s most in-demand theater and opera directors, Phyllida Lloyd staged the smash-hit musical Mamma Mia!, which, after almost a decade, continues to play to sold-out houses on Broadway, in London’s West End and around the world.

Troche's directorial debut was the groundbreaking film “Go Fish” (1994), a lesbian romantic comedy, which premiered at the Sundance Film Fest in 1994. The film was co-written and co-produced with Guinevere Turner. Her next feature film was “Bedrooms and Hallways” (1998), which explored male sexuality. She then directed “The Safety of Objects” (2001), adapted from the short stories of A. M. Homes and focused on suburbia USA.
