NYC festival gives honourable mention to animated documentary Topor and Me.
(Source:bcdb.com) Sylvia Kristel, best known as the Dutch star of the soft-core Emmanuelle films of the 1970's, saw her directorial debut honoured at NYC's Tribeca Film festival. The 11-minute Topor and Me, where the former actress and avid painter documents the Paris art scene and her former art teacher Roland Topor, made its debut at the festival. The film was entered in the narrative short category. Ruud Den Dryver and Dorna van Rouveroy produced Topor and Me and Juan De Graaf and Milan Hulsing did the animation. Kristel was born in Utrecht on September 28th, 1952. She went to Amsterdam, and then to Paris, where she was an actress, painter and model, winning the Miss TV Europe contest in 1973. She first came to prominence when she starred in 1974's Emmanuelle, which remains one of France's most commercially successful films. She made two sequels before trying her luck in the U.S. She made her Hollywood debut in the 1980 Maxwell Smart revival The Nude Bomb, but is best known as Nicole Mallow, the sexy housekeeper in 1981's Private Lessons. She now lives in Amsterdam with her son Arthur, an actor.
