“It’s probably her spacey air of mystery and reserve as well as the street chic that keep causing people to ask, ‘Who is that girl?’ ” In 1994, Jay McInerney wrote about how Chloe Sevigny, with her street-smart style and down-low attitude, became Manhattan's It Girl. At the time, Sevigny was fresh off an appearance in a Sonic Youth video, and had just been cast by the photographer Larry Clark in his new movie, “Kids.” “She’s definitely the girl of the moment,” said Walter Cessna, a writer for Paper. “All the kids think she’s the shit, all the store owners think she’s the shit. What’s interesting about Chloe is she spans both scenes, the whole grunge thing and the whole rave thing. Chloe really is the symbol for all those kids. But she does keep to herself.” Go back to the scene of New York City in the 90s with McInerney’s profile of the rising star.

The Mexican director Sara Gómez, who died in 1974, made about 20 short documentaries in her short life, starting in 1961, two years after the Revolution. In 1974, she shot her only feature-length film, “One Way or Another,” completed posthumously, which mixes a romantic drama with documentary sequences. Gómez, the first woman to direct movies in Mexico, created “a body of work that was in the creative and political forefront of its time and, in many ways, remains so even now,” Richard Brody writes. “Gómez, with her blend of documentary and fiction, of drama and intellectual analysis, devised a new cinematic method, which she used to express a powerful vision of her country, her time, and her own place in both.”
