Women's cinema


Post-war French director Jacqueline Audry
"Women's cinema is a variety of topics bundled together to create the work of women in film. This can include women filling behind the scene roles such as director, cinematographer, writer, and producer while also addressing the stories of women and character development through screenplays. Renowned female directors include Kathryn Bigelow, who is the only woman to date to win the Academy Award for Best Director, along with many other female directors from around the world such as Alice Guy-Blaché, Dorothy Arzner, Mary Harron, Icíar Bollaín, Jane Campion, Aparna Sen, Sofia Coppola, Agnès Varda, Patty Jenkins, Nancy Meyers, Yasmin Ahmad, Nadine Labaki, Ava DuVernay, Lucrecia Martel, Lynne Ramsay, Greta Gerwig, Rakhshān Banietemad, and Ida Lupino. Many successful cinematographers are also women, including Maryse Alberti, Reed Morano, Rachel Morrison, and Zoe White. Women's cinema recognizes women's contributions all over the world, not only to narrative films but to documentaries as well. ..."
