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.

Mark Cousins reconstructs a century of cinematic history by centering the often-ignored female visionaries who shaped the medium. This sprawling montage breathes life into forgotten archives, transforming a collection of clips into a vibrant celebration of the female gaze.
