Women Make Film (2020- )

RunningDocumentary showHistory

This epic, five years in the making, is made up of 14 episodes narrated by Tilda Swinton, Jane Fonda, Adjoa Andoh, Sharmila Tagore, Kerry Fox, Thandie Newton and Debra Winger. Women Make Film follows in the footsteps of Mark Cousins' The Story of Film: An Odyssey, to give us a guided tour of the art and craft of the movies. 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.

Death, Endings, Song and Dance

The biggest subject in life, the most universal subject – no wonder that Japan's Kinuyo Tanaka, Canada's Caroline Leaf, Spain's Ana Mariscal, Holland's Paula Van der Oest and other great filmmakers in this chapter embrace it. We begin to end our epic road movie with films from Sonja Heiss, Larisa Shepitko, Ida Lupino, Lizzie Borden, Claire Denis and Maya Deren. End with a song, they say, so our story does. Huang Shugin from China, Vera Stroeva from Russia, Scotland's Margaret Tait, Alice Guy, Edith Carlmar, Celine Sciamma, Brazil's Gilda de Ebreu, America's Joan Micklin Silver, the great Shirley Clarke, Dorothy Arzner and Beyonce make music with their films. We conclude our story, our road movie, and end in an unexpected place...
