FILM SYNOPSIS: A drama about four actresses at different stages in their careers. Over the course of a week together, they make significant decisions about their lives and their relationships.
FESTIVAL HISTORY: The first Festival attracted 7,000 people a day and hosted its first celebrity, the esteemed French actress, Jeanne Moreau. Moreau was in Toronto with her directorial debut, Lumière, a meditative, autobiographical film about four actresses, the youngest played by Quebec's Francine Racette.
Lumière drew on both Moreau's life as a woman and on her extensive work in the French cinema. The plot centered on a week in the lives of the four actresses, each at a different stage in her career. Its milieu, however, was the French cinema, and its greatest inspiration came from Moreau's life-long love affair with film.
Moreau's Lumière led a strong cohort of films by women in the Festival's first year, with new features by directors such as France's Marguerite Duras, Belgium's Chantal Akerman, and USA's Martha Coolidge.
