Women Make Film: A New Road Movie Through Cinema

The read

Critics rate it 17 points higher than audiences do. The series ran 1 season across 14 episodes and has finished, so there is no cliffhanger risk.

Synopsis

As told through clips from 183 female directors, this epic history of the cinema focuses on women's integral role in the development of film art. Using almost a thousand film extracts from thirteen decades and five continents, Mark Cousins asks how films are made, shot and edited; how stories are shaped and how movies depict life, love, politics, humour and death, all through the compelling lens of some of the world's greatest filmmakers -- all of them women.
