Hello Actors Studio

On the occasion of its 40th anniversary, the legendary American laboratory for professional actors opened its doors to Frenchwoman Annie Tresgot, a renowned director of documentaries, notably on Elia Kazan and Billy Wilder. Composed of 3 episodes, Hello Actors Studio is a fascinating dive into the heart of the venerable New York institution, founded in 1947 by former members of the Group Theater wishing to disseminate the method of interpretation derived from Stanislavsky. Paul Newman, Ellen Burstyn, Sydney Pollack, Shelley Winters, Arthur Penn, Gene Wilder, Robert De Niro and many others speak of this atypical place, a true haven of freedom and creation.
