Coolidge Award Repertory Screening in honor of Jonathan Demme, recipient of the 2010 Coolidge Award

Legendary producer Roger Corman helped kick-start the careers of Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, James Cameron, John Sayles, and countless others. Under Corman's tutelage, Jonathan Demme
made his directorial debut with the women-in-prison film CAGED HEAT. Now a cult classic, the movie features female inmate Jacqueline (Erica Gavin), who is sentenced to prison on drug-related charges. Jacqueline bonds with a group of fellow female inmates as they fight against their oppressive warden, played by horror icon Barbara Steele.
