Some of cinema’s greatest features have come about through inter-nation-al collaboration of writers, actors, directors, producers, and often cross-pollination of cultures and locations. This collection naturally follows the “F-list” and “G-list” while expanding the field to include Americans working at their best with non-American cultures; this list aspires to (if not always reaching the heights of) something like The River or Happy Together, with exceptional artists witnessing or showcasing greatness beyond their own familiar world
