Paris: The Luminous Years

Directed by Perry Miller Adato

With Josephine Baker, Sylvia Beach, Daniel Breaker, Chris Henry Coffey and Aaron Copland

A storm of Modernism swept through the art worlds of the West in the early decades of the twentieth century, uprooting centuries of tradition. The epicenter of this storm was Paris, France. For an incandescent moment from 1905 to 1930, Paris was the magnetic center for radical innovation and experiment, and the Mecca for creative talents who would change the course of art throughout the Western world.
