Biopic on Directing Pioneer Alice Guy-Blaché in the Works From ‘Be Natural’ Director

Zeitgeist
A narrative feature biopic is in the works about female directing pioneer Alice Guy-Blaché from the director of “Be Natural,” the 2018 documentary that profiled the silent cinema icon.
Guy-Blaché was the first woman to ever direct a film and between 1896 and 1906 was likely the only female director in the world. Across her 25-year career, she directed over 700 short silent films across all genres, and many of her films helped pioneer new sound and color-tinting techniques for other filmmakers. And by 1912 she had founded her own studio on the East Coast and directed the film “A Fool And His Money,” the first film with an all-African-American cast.
Mark Cousins’ Women Make Film provided some much-needed solace when it aired this autumn on Turner Classic Movies. The 14-hour documentary series traced the overlooked.
