Spanning the entire history of cinema, this series brings together a powerhouse lineup of films from around the world where the director is their own star. It’s a celebration of moviemaking titans across the ages, featuring silent comedians who built the basics of film grammar like Charlie Chaplin and Mabel Normand; polymath-artists like Orson Welles and Spike Lee; actors that wanted to expand their art like Jackie Chan, Robert Townsend, and Barbara Loden; and independent iconoclasts like John Cassavetes, Cheryl Dunye, and Wendell B. Harris, Jr.
