"Women Make Film" is a fourteen-hour documentary film from filmmaker and critic, Mark Cousins. This timely project is a celebration, placing a much needed spotlight on female filmmakers from around the world and throughout history, some that certainly have not received the recognition that they and their influential work deserve. With narration from a cast of international performers, Adjoa Andoh, Jane Fonda, Kerry Fox, Thandie Newton, Tilda Swinton, Sharmila Tagore and Debra Winger, this "road movie through cinema" is divided into forty chapters and features the work of one hundred and eighty-three directors. The director Cousins has not made a conventional doc, offering an introspective, almost academic, exploration on how their films are shaped and how they inventively depict love, life and death through the cinematic lens.
"Women Make Film" originally made it's premiere at the 2018 Venice Film Festival and is now being shown on Turner Classic Movies as one-hour episodes on Tuesdays beginning this month through December. TCM hosts, Alicia Malone and Jacqueline Stewart, will do the introduction before each showing and then will screen some of the films discussed in that installment on the channel. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about some of the unsung talent of cinema and discover their extraordinary movies.
