The first ever film major at the Rhode Island School of Design, the first female president of the Directors Guild of America, and the first to cast Nicolas Cage as a lead in a feature film, the legendary Martha Coolidge will be joining the American Cinematheque in-person for another iconic first: our first retrospective devoted to her work as a trailblazing filmmaker.
Films include: Not A Pretty Picture, Valley Girl, Real Genius, Angie, Lost In Yonkers, Rambling Rose, Introducing Dorothy Dandridge, The Prince And Me And Out To Sea
A change of pace for filmmaker Martha Coolidge, ANGIE, starring Geena Davis, gives us an intimate peek into the challenges of womanhood in 90’s Brooklyn. When Angie does the unthinkable- having a child out of wedlock- she finds herself on the most important journey of her life, rife with societal pressures and dark family secrets, towards her own self-discovery.
