#LetsTravelJuly Day 14: Fats‘ review: “History is dominated by men. The film making industry is one of them. Not very many people were aware that women had been part of movie directing since the beginning. If you‘ve heard of Alice Guy-Blaché from #France then consider yourself lucky. In some articles I‘ve read online, Alice Guy-Blaché was considered a lost visionary and a forgotten film pioneer.” Full review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-k87

A picture book about #femalefilmmaker Alice Guy-Blaché “a French pioneer filmmaker, active from the late 19th century, and one of the first to make a narrative fiction film. From 1896 to 1906 she was probably the only female filmmaker in the world.” Wikipedia
