Before becoming a filmmaker in the early '70s, Yvonne Rainer was a distinguished dance choreographer and co-founder of the Judson Dance Theater. As a director, she is known for her politically oriented experimental films. As a filmmaker, Ranier got her start around 1968 when she began turning her dance performances into multimedia events by combining live dancing with projected slides and short films. She made her first feature-length film, Lives of Performers, in 1972. Though at first she was primarily interested in making avant-garde films, her films then took a more sociopolitical turn. The Man Who Envied Women is one of her best-known films.
