French producer and co-founder -- with her husband Jean Cazes -- of the production, financing and distribution company Lumiere International, Lila Cazes has moved from French productions to European ones, and then, in the 90s, to producing for the U.S. market, including such heralded productions as "Leaving Las Vegas" (1995), and Paul Schrader's "Touch" (1997). The Cazes formed Lumiere in 1984, and, although it took a few years to gain inertia, they produced "Mangeclous" in 1988. Directed by Moshe Mizrahi, it was based on the true story of five Zionists who protest at a League of Nations
