Women Make Film: A New Road Movie Through Cinema Part 5
The journey ends with the biggest themes of love, death and the meaning of life.
Director: Mark Cousins
Overview
The journey ends with the biggest themes of love, death and the meaning of life. That allows for a final stunning selection of work by women directors that includes Euzhan Palcy’s Sugar Cane Alley, Jane Campion’s The Piano, Kinuyo Tanaka’s Love Letters, Caroline Leaf’s The Street and Binka Zhelyazkova’s The Attached Balloon. The whole stunning work concludes with a song and a dance courtesy of Alice Guy, Margaret Tait, Celina Sciamma, Vera Stroyeva and the irreplacable Agnès Varda. Our understanding of cinema history will never be the same again.
