Martha Coolidge: An American Cinematheque Retrospective - Angie

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.
