THE WORLD
1987. On the occasion of its 40th anniversary, the legendary American laboratory for professional actors opened its doors to the French Annie Tresgot, a renowned director of documentaries, notably on Elia Kazan and Billy Wilder. Composed of 3 parts, Hello Actors Studio is an exciting dive into the heart of the venerable New York institution founded by former members of the Group Theatre wishing to disseminate the method of interpretation derived from Stanislavski. Paul Newman, Ellen Burstyn, Sydney Pollack, Shelley Winters, Arthur Penn, Gene Wilder, Eli Wallach and many others talk about this atypical place, a true showcase of freedom and creation. Hello Actors Studio is available in its new 4K restoration made from 16 mm negatives and supervised by director Annie Tresgot.
