Storyline

An unprecedented look behind the scenes of two of New York’s premier cultural events, The First Monday in May follows the creation of “China: Through The Looking Glass,” the most attended fashion exhibition in the history of The Costume Institute at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the 2015 Met Gala, the star-studded fundraiser that celebrates the opening of the exhibition. Acclaimed filmmaker Andrew Rossi follows Anna Wintour, Artistic Director of Condé Nast and editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine and longtime chair of the Met Gala, and Andrew Bolton, the iconoclastic curator who conceived the groundbreaking show, for eight months as they prepare for an evening they hope will take the worlds of art and fashion by storm.

Andrew Rossi shot, directed, produced of Page One, which follows reporters on the media desk of the New York Times and premiered at the Sundance Film Festival 2011. It was also nominated for two News and Documentary Emmy awards. Rossi directed, produced and was one of the cinematographers and editors of Ivory Tower, which examines how student debt is undermining college’s role. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and was released theatrically in 2014 and named by Indiewire as one of the best documentaries of the year. In 2015 Rossi produced Thought Crimes, an HBO documentary that explores the crucial implications for the First Amendment as law enforcement increasingly monitors online communication.
