Why you should be a part of the Directed by Women film festival.
This September is the first-ever Directed by Women film festival – a global viewing party celebrating films directed by women.
Why is this important?
Well, according to the Indiewire’s Women and Hollywood project, from 2009-2013:
- 4.7% of studio films were directed by women
- 10% of independent films were directed by women
So in honor of the event, I’m going to be focusing on women-made films here on the blog, both historical and contemporary.
