The True Story of Tamara de Lempicka & The Art of Survival 
American documentary, 96’, 2024
In original language, with Hungarian subtitles
Director: Julie Rubio
Writer: Amy Harrison, Julie Rubio

"The True Story of Tamara De Lempicka & the Art of Survival" is a visually stunning and sweeping feature documentary that traces the life and survival of the renowned painter through her powerful paintings – from her rise to international stardom in 1920s Paris, to her move to the United States in 1940, fleeing the rise of fascism, and her revival in the current art market.

Tamara de Lempicka was the preeminent Art Deco painter, known for her high-gloss sensual nudes and portraits of high society during the Jazz Age. She was marginalized and gained notoriety for her romantic liaisons with her models and her indulgent, decadent lifestyle, but she was so much more.

Cast: Victoria De Lempicka, Marisa De Lempicka, Paula Birnbaum, Cristina de Lempicka, Eden Espinosa, Matt Gould, Carson Kreitzer, Scott Niichel, Anne Paddy, Julie Rubio, Roxana Velasquez, Rowland Weinstein
