| Summary |
"The remarkable herstory of the women whose groundbreaking achievements and visions transformed the course of cinema since 1896. The first narrative director to tell a story on the screen, the highest paid director in the silent days, the inventor of the crane, and the boom microphone, the first editor to receive solo screen credit, the pioneer of socially conscious films ... all were women. More women worked in creative and influential positions in film before 1920 than at any other time in motion picture history. Traditional film history tells us about the achievements of Méliès, Eisenstein, Truffaut, and Coppola. But what about Blaché, Weber, Lupino, and Von Trotta? These filmmakers have been as integral and transformative to the story of film, and yet their stories have remained largely untold ... until now"--Provided by publisher |
