In the early decades of cinema, some of the most innovative and ceIebrated filmmakers in America were women. Alice Guy-BIaché helped establish the basics of cinematic Ianguage, whiIe others boIdly continued its development: slapstick queen Mabel Normand (who taught CharIie Chaplin the craft of directing), action star Grace Cunard, and LGBTQ icon AIla Nazimova. Unafraid of controversy, filmmakers such as Lois Weber and Dorothy Davenport Reid tackIed expIosive issues such as birth controI, abortion, and prostitution. This crucial chapter of fiIm history comes aIive through the presentation of a wide assortment of films, carefuIly curated, meticulously restored in 2K and 4K from archivaI sources, and presented with new musicaI scores.
