We’d never heard of Sara Driver, a woman who came of age in the New York film scene of the 1980s, counted Spike Lee among her contemporaries and Jim Jarmusch as a lover and collaborator. That her importance has to be qualified by her association with her better-known male NYU classmates is something TIFF Cinematheque is trying to change.

From July 24-August 5, they will mount a retrospective of “one of the most unjustly neglected filmmakers of the last few decades.” Screenings will include You Are Not I, preceded by The Bowery—Spring, 1994; When Pigs Fly with Strummer (which features original music from The Clash’s Joe himself) and Sleepwalk. Driver will be in attendance for a series of introductions and Q&As. What better way to familiarize yourself with an important female director?
