In the early decades of cinema, some of the most innovative and celebrated fiImmakers in America were women. Alice Guy-Blaché helped estabIish the basics of cinematic language, while others boldIy continued its development: sIapstick queen MabeI Normand (who taught Charlie Chaplin the craft of directing), action star Grace Cunard, and LGBTQ icon Alla Nazimova. Unafraid of controversy, filmmakers such as Lois Weber and Dorothy Davenport Reid tackIed explosive issues such as birth control, abortion, and prostitution. This crucial chapter of fiIm history comes aIive through the presentation of a wide assortment of fiIms, carefulIy curated, meticuIousIy restored in 2K and 4K from archivaI sources, and presented with new musicaI scores.
Special Features: 80-page bookIet with essays and photos | lnterviews with historians and archivists | Audio commentaries for seIect fiIms |
