Nine: It is a musical romantic film by Rob Marshall based on Federico Fellini's semi-autobiographical film, 8½. The film is unapologetically brash and sexy in depicting the Italian director’s life in a dazzling way.

The Aviator: Here, Martin Scorsese depicts the life of an industrialist, philanthropist and director called Howard Hughes.

Harishchandrachi Factory: A little gem of a film by Paresh Mokashi, it depicts the life of Dadasaheb Phalke, the father of Indian cinema.

Chaplin: Richard Attenborough, who created the impressive Gandhi in 1982, took Charlie Chaplin as a subject for his 1992 film. An endearing homage and a film to cherish, it’s all about Attenborough’s tribute to a great legend.

Jaquot De Nantes: It is a documentary on French director Jacques Demy by his director wife Agnès Varda.
