Let’s say here. I watched one of movie called First Female Director (2023) by Chelsea Peretti who also director/actor. It was so funny and corny same time. It catches me thinking about who was the first female director? Yeah, ready? Here is it…

—————————————————————————————————

Alice Guy-Blache (1873-1968) was a French pioneer film director. She was one of the first filmmakers to make a narrative fiction film, as well as the first woman to direct a film.

Her quote: There is nothing connected with the staging of a motion picture that a woman cannot do as easily as a man, and there is no reason she cannot master every technicality of the art…In the arts of acting, painting, music, and literature women have long held their place among the most successful workers, and when it is considered how vitally these arts enter into the production of motion pictures one wonders why the names of scores of women are not found among the most successful creators of photodrama offerings – Alice Guy-Blanche in The Moving Picture World, July 11, 1914.

The First America Woman Film Director is Lois Weber (1879-1939), was an American silent film director, screenwriter, produce and actress. “the most important and prolific film directors in the era of silent films”

Film historian Anthony Slide (1944) has also asserted, “Along with D.W. Griffith (1875-1948), Weber was the American cinema’s first genuine auteur, a filmmaker involved in all aspects of production and one who utilized the motion picture to put across her own ideas and philosophies”.
