The First Monday in May is a 2016 documentary film directed by Andrew Rossi and produced by Fabiola Beracasa Beckman, Dawn Ostroff, and Sylvana Ward Durrett. The film chronicles the conception and execution of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s 2015 exhibition China: Through the Looking Glass, curated by Andrew Bolton. Framed around the planning of the annual Met Gala, the documentary explores the intersection of fashion, art, and cultural politics as the exhibition becomes the most attended fashion show in the museum’s history.
