As told through clips from 183 female directors, this epic history of the cinema focuses on women's integral role in the development of film art. Using almost a thousand film extracts from thirteen decades and five continents, Mark 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 filmmakers -- all of them women.
"Staging". Scene staging is an element of film form pointing clearly to cinema's origin: theater. "Journey". Movement is key to a motion picture, and journeys in film can be horizontal as well as vertical (into the self). Travel can be like glue and bind characters from two different worlds. "Discovery". Discovery and revelation shape some of cinema's most iconic moments. But beyond the best-known scenes, there lies the humanity, craft, and insight of discovery.
