WOMEN MAKE FILM: A NEW ROAD MOVIE THROUGH CINEMA
UK, 2019 | 840 mins | Cert 15 | Dir. Mark Cousins | With Tilda Swinton, Jane Fonda, Adjoa
Andoh, Sharmila Tagore, Kerry Fox, Thandie Newton and Debra Winger
Using almost a thousand film extracts from thirteen decades and five continents, 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 directors – all of them women.
Live-streamed Q&A
Live captioned talks. The series is available with captions.
Join hosts: Birds’ Eye View Director-At-Large, Mia Bays and Kate Muir (writer and critic) for the 2nd session of our ongoing series of conversations around the landmark documentary WOMEN MAKE FILM, in conversation with three filmmakers Tinge Krishnan (BEEN SO LONG), Deborah Haywood (PIN CUSHION) and Jeanie Finlay (SEAHORSE) whose feature films we have toured.
This date also marks the 2 year anniversary of Reclaim The Frame, our mission to bring ever-greater audiences to films by women.
“A sprawling 14-hour lesson in film history told through the eyes of female directors”
Little White Lies
“An eye-opening, tantalizing resource”.
Hollywood Reporter
“On the whole, Cousins’s is a fascinating foray into the world of filmmaking. It’s a visual feast, an
odyssey exploring the craft and yet another reminder — in case it were needed — that women do
indeed make films. And great ones too”.
