Alice Guy (1873-1968) was considered the first director of fiction films. And yes, she was a woman.
When cinematography was invented in 1895, the new machine was used to capture images to present reality as it was (women leaving a factory, a train approaching a station, family gatherings, etc). It was Guy who believed that the camera could also be used to tell a fictional story instead of just being a recording device of things taking place in real life. In 1896, Guy suggested to Léon Gaumont, the owner of Gaumont Film Company, that he abandon simple shots to shoot small scripted stories fiction films. She got the authorisation directly, an exceptional feat back then and still is today.

For filmgoers, it was a year of mortal dread. The screen went dark, like a coffin nailed shut, and is still like that in many places. Faith in cinema as we ve known it was rattled, challenged, and endangered with a Biblical overtone; it s a plague we re dealing with, after all. It was a year unlike any other we had seen before in the 125 years since cinema was invented. And while that sounds dispiriting, 2020 has also been a Year of Great Reckoning during which the equilibrium was recalibrated and the idea of moving images continues, as it should, to evolve.
