Casa Susanna
Réalisation
Sébastien LIFSHITZ
Diane and Kate are now 80 years old. In the 50s and 60s, they were men and part of the first clandestine network of cross-dressers in the United States. They relate this forgotten but essential chapter rich in extraordinary characters, including the famous Susanna, who had the courage to create this refuge that came to be known as "Casa Susanna".

Sébastien Lifshitz was born in 1968 in Paris, France. After studying art history at the Ecole du Louvre, he decided to devote himself to cinema and directed his first feature film, COME UNDONE, in 2000, which was acclaimed by critics and distributed worldwide.
This was followed by the documentary THE CROSSING (2001), selected for the Directors’ Fortnight in Cannes, then WILD SIDE (2004) and BAMBI (2016), both of which won awards at the Berlin Film Festival.
After THE INVISIBLES (2012), an official selection at the Cannes Film Festival, and THE LIVES OF THERESE (2017) at the Directors’ Fortnight, he directed two new documentaries: ADOLESCENTS, awarded at the Locarno Film Festival, winner of Louis-Delluc Prize for Best Film and of three César in 2021, and LITTLE GIRL, presented at the Berlin Film Festival in 2020 and distributed worldwide, including in the United States, in 2022.
