First Run was founded in 1979 by a group of filmmakers to advance the distribution of Independent Film . Under the leadership of the late independent film pioneer, Fran Spielman, First Run Features quickly gained a reputation for its controversial catalog of daring independent fiction and non-fiction films. The First Run legacy includes films by such notable directors as: Michael Apted , Ross McElwee , Lizzie Borden , Spike Lee , Claude Chabrol , Monika Treut , Rose Troche , Sven Nykvist , Jane Campion , Michael Winterbottom , Maria Luisa Bemberg , Barbara Kopple , Peter Jackson , Daniel Bergman , Dariush Mehrjui , David O. Russell , Jan Svankmajer , Claire Denis , Benoit Jacquot , Marleen Gorris , Radley Metzger , Deborah Shaffer , Victor Nunez , The Brothers Quay , George Sluizer , and Satyajit Ray . In the Spring of 2001 First Run's diverse collection of award winning independent, foreign, fiction, non-fiction and children's films was honored with a retrospective at the Museum Of Modern Art in New York City.
