Anders' films have been shown at the Cannes International Film Festival and at the Sundance Film Festival.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.filmandmedia.ucsb.edu/people/faculty/anders/anders.html )〕 She has been awarded a MacArthur Genius Grant as well as a Peabody Award. ==Early life== Anders was born in Ashland, Kentucky to mother Alberta "Rachel" Anders (née Steed) and father Robert "Bob" Anders.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QKHV-VF2V )〕 She has four sisters, one of whom, Luanne Anders,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QKHF-VHPN )〕 starred in her first film, ''Border Radio.'' One of her sisters is Dominique Steed née Du Bois, the daughter of Louis Ernesto Gomez-Moncalleno Du Bois. Her paternal side has ancestry that traces back to the Southern Hatfield family and, more distantly, to George Washington's spy, Caleb Brewster, while her maternal side includes another George Washington spy, Abraham Woodhull.〔 When Anders was 4 years old, her father abandoned the family. Anders' mother and father were divorced when she was 5 years old. After her mother moved her and her sisters to Los Angeles, Anders suffered a mental breakdown at the age of 15 and was hospitalized. When she came out of the psychiatric ward, she was placed into foster care but ran away. She hitchhiked across the country, at one point ending up in jail. After turning 17 years old, Anders dropped out of her Los Angeles high school and moved back to Kentucky. She later moved to London with the man who fathered her first child. In her early 20s, Anders moved back to Los Angeles with her daughter and attended junior college, Los Angeles Valley College, while working odd jobs. Due to constant relocation as a child, Anders had not had a steady education. She said that growing up most of her time was spent watching TV and going to movie theaters. Influenced and inspired by the films of Wim Wenders as well as other filmmakers, Anders applied to UCLA Film School. During her time at UCLA, Anders produced her first super-8 16-millimeter sound movie. Wenders attended the screening.〔 In 1986, Anders got her B.A. in Motion Picture-Television from University of California Los Angeles.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Allison Anders」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
