Women Directors at the Oscars

“Women Directors at the Oscars” showcases the fine work of the only three women ever nominated for a Best Director Oscar: Lina Wertmüller’s “Seven Beauties” (June 20); Jane Campion’s “The Piano” (July 18); and Sofia Coppola’s “Lost in Translation” (July 11). Also screening is Cristina Comencini’s “La Bestia Nel Cuore (Don’t Tell)” (June 27), which was last year’s Foreign Language Film nominee from Italy. All but Campion are of Italian descent, modern heiresses to the artists featured in the exhibit “Italian Women Artists from Renaissance to Baroque.”

Finally, ¡Feliz Cumpleaños, Frida! As part of NMWA's Frida Kahlo 100th Birthday Celebration, two most popular- but decidedly different- cinematic accounts of her life will be shown.

For more details about the films, see the National Museum of Women in the Arts' calendar.
