A fascinating blend of music, politics, romance and
memories, Antonia: A Portrait of the Woman is the story of history's
first woman symphony conductor, Dr. Antonia Brico. Produced and
directed by Judy Collins and Jill Godmilow, the biography received an
Oscar nomination for best documentary in 1974. The American
documentary broke through many boundaries of what was considered
"kosher" in the documentary genre by including animation,
self-reflection, and dramatically original editing. Antonia: A
Portrait of the Woman features commentary by Collins, a biography, and
photo gallery, among other memorabilia.
