We're continuing to support the amazing Reclaim the Frame a project that hopes to find ever increasing audience for films made by women and in this year when no women got nominated for Best Director (when there were plenty to chose from) it seems like there is no better time to get behind this scheme and support these amazing events and films.
The second film of the year will be at our film club home CULTUREPLEX mini cini very soon and it's the story of one of the first ever female directors to make narrative features in the silent era...a woman you probably have never heard of. Here's the synopsis of Be Natural...
When Alice Guy-Blaché completed her first film in 1896 Paris, she was not only the first female filmmaker, but one of the first directors ever to make a narrative film. In Be Natural, Pamela B. Green acts as a detective, revealing the real story of Guy-Blaché and highlighting her pioneering contributions to the birth of cinema and her acclaim as a creative force and
entrepreneur in the earliest years of movie-making.
Narrated by Jodie Foster, the film features commentary from Diablo Cody, Geena Davis, Julie Delpy, Ava DuVernay, Michel Hazanavicius, Patty Jenkins, Ben Kingsley, Andy Samberg, Agnès Varda, Evan Rachel Woodand more.
Sound pretty interesting, right? The event will have a video intro from iconJodie Foster and a discussion about the film from female critics and filmmakers after the show, as is customary with these events that always give you more than just the film.
