During the birth and development of the film industry, women were kept off the director’s chair. A few took the initiative against this prejudicial practice and paved the road for the numerous women directing films today. This course will celebrate the works of some of these pioneers and the many women successfully practicing the art of directing today. A full program of films/directors will be emailed by the first class. For the first class, please watch The Hitchhiker (1953) directed by pioneer Ida Lupino, available on YouTube and archive.org.
