Not a Pretty Picture is a 1976 American docudrama film. The film was written, produced and directed by Martha Coolidge, marking her narrative feature film directorial debut, after years of working as a documentary filmmaker in the early to mid-1970s.
The film is a retelling about Coolidge, who was date raped when she was sixteen years old.[1][2] The film follows the aftermath of the incident on the main character.[3][4] In 2022, The Academy Film Archive in partnership with Martin Scorsese's Film Foundation restored 'Not a Pretty Picture', with funds generously provided by the George Lucas Family Foundation. The Restoration premiered on December 8, 2022, at the Academy Museum in Hollywood. In 2023 Not a Pretty Picture screened at Berlinale, selected by Céline Sciamma.[5]
