Great Directors and the Yacht

Not really a part of the Cannes Film Festival, first time director and artist Angela Ismailos (left) nevertheless had an impressive crowd of journalists, buyers and programmers for a screening of her doc, “Great Directors.” She described it as a passion project, profiling directors such as David Lynch, Bernardo Bertolucci, Catherine Breillat (pictured), Agnes Varda, Ken Loach, Stephen Frears, Todd Haynes and John Sayles with footage of some of their most memorable work. “The funny thing is, after you finish a film, they want you to talk about it,” said Lynch in the film which screened Tuesday. “But the film is the talk, so if you want to talk about it, go see it - it’s the whole thing…” After the screening, invitees strolled over to the marina for champagne and oysters aboard Ismailos’ beautiful yacht.
