Summary

From the award winning, 10 part archival program series, "Filmmakers on Film." There were more women directors before 1920 than at any other time in history. The first director to put a narrative story on celluloid was, Alice Guy Blache⁺ѓ in 1896. Few people know that Lillian Gish became a director in her own right in 1920. Ida Lupino directed over a hundred episodes of "Have Gun, Will Travel," "Thriller," "Gunsmoke," and many independent features. Features: A very rare interview with Lillian Gish in her role as director. Also, Mala Powers (a Lupino "find") speaks about Lupino the director. Includes interview materials with Katharine Hepburn about pioneering director, Dorothy Arzner. Ally Acker is the director of the ten part archival program series, "Filmmakers on Film."
