description: "C. S. Leigh was a British-American film director based in London and Paris, who previously worked as a curator under the name Christian Leigh. From 1987 to 1993 he was a well known figure in the New York art world until he abruptly \"disappeared\". An exhibition about his career as a curator and the mystery of his disappearance took place in 2012. In 1998 he premiered his directing debut Sentimental Education under his own name Christian Leigh. His 2001 film Far from China starred singer and actress Marianne Faithfull and featured original music by Suede. His 2005 film See You at Regis Debray is about Andreas Baader. His last release was A Quiet American: Ralph Rucci & Paris, a documentary about fashion designer Ralph Rucci. Projection, starring Lars Eidinger and Yekaterina Golubeva, is currently in post-production."
