Fore- most among these women is the figure of Alice Guy Blaché—also known simply as Alice Guy, before she married Herbert Blaché in 1907—who was responsible for numerous “firsts” in cinema history: the first film with narrative La Fée aux Choux (The Cabbage Patch Fairy; 1896), as well as early experiments with color dye processes, synchronized sound recording, multi-reel films, and other cinematic advances. Gaumont put out a set of her French films for that com- pany—she was the head of production for Gaumont between 1896 and 1907—in a superb DVD in 2009 entitled Gaumont Treasures Vol- ume 1 (1897–1913), but this compilation necessarily did not deal with her subsequent work in America, where she founded her own produc- tion company, Solax, and set about making a series of energetic films in every possible genre. -

Film Essay for "Shoes"
Shoes By Shelley Stamp A profile of director Lois Weber published shortly after the release of “Shoes” celebrated her ability to probe “complex questions which are challenging in- telligent thinkers the world over” in a “dignified and dramatic manner.”1 Working at Universal in the mid- 1910s, where she enjoyed enormous respect and substantial creative control, Weber wrote and di- rected ambitious features on highly topical and deeply contentious issues of the day, including drug addiction, capital punishment, and the fight to legal- ize contraception. She considered cinema a modern “voiceless language” capable of engaging popular audiences in critical cultural debates, much as a newspaper editorial or a religious sermon might do. In “Shoes” Weber tackled one of the early twentieth century’s most pronounced social phenomena – the influx of young, single women into the wage labor force where they were often exploited and under- paid. Eva Meyer (Mary MacLaren), the film’s central character, supports her entire family with the meager salary she earns working in a five-and-dime store. They are destitute as a result, often unable to buy basic necessities. In one of the film’s most harrowing scenes, Eva lies awake at night haunted by the This advertisement appeared in the June 24, 1916 edition specter of poverty that grips her family.

From Lois Weber to Kathryn Bigelow, and the “Chick- Flick” Reputation
Where are All the Women? From Lois Weber to Kathryn Bigelow, and the “Chick- Flick” Reputation Cathy Kostova, 9 March 2015 I. Intro Manohla Dargis argues[1] that Kathryn Bigelow’s two-fisted win at the Academy Awards, in 2009, for best director and best film, for “The Hurt Locker”, has helped dismantle stereotypes about what types of films women can and should direct. As much as I agree with her that this was a historic and exhilarating moment for women filmmakers all around the world, I find the fact that the Oscar was granted to a movie with no female point of view whatsoever and to a director who tries her best not to be identified as female when it comes to her job, proves that films with strong female characters, and women directors who create such characters, remain very rarely recognized. 1. The Academy Statistics There have been only 4 women nominated for best director, out of the 424 nominations in the history of the Oscars: 1976: Lina Wertmüller for “Seven Beauties” (1975), 1993: Jane Campion for “The Piano” (1993), 2003: Sofia Coppola for “Lost in Translation” (2003), and 2009: Kathryn Bigelow for “The Hurt Locker” (2008) A 2012 survey conducted by the Los Angeles Times found that overall, academy members are 94 percent white and 77 percent male, and that their median age is 62. Cathy Kostova 1 WHERE ARE ALL THE WOMEN? From Lois Weber To Kathryn Bigelow, and the “Chick-Flick” Reputation, 9 March 2015 Women make up 19 percent of the academy’s screenwriting branch and 18 percent of its producers branch, but only 9 percent of its directors branch. -

TSAP 2016 Screening Schedule
To Save and Project: The 14th MoMA International Festival of Film Preservation Screening Schedule November 2–23, 2016 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters Cock of the Air. 1932. USA. Directed by Tom Buckingham. Screenplay by Charles Lederer, Robert E. Sherwood. With Chester Morris, Billie Dove, Matt Moore. Co-presented with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, this New York premiere kicks off To Save and Project. Producer Howard Hughes combined two of his principal interests—one of them was airplanes—for this amazingly raunchy comedy set in Europe during World War I, with Chester Morris as an American pilot with an international reputation as a womanizer and Billie Dove as a French actress determined to teach him a lesson. Hughes tried but failed to sneak the film past the Hays censorship office and was forced to cut nearly two reels of footage; this restoration from the Academy Film Archive includes much of the censored imagery and uses newly recorded dialogue to fill in lines removed from the surviving soundtrack. The unheralded director Tom Buckingham demonstrates a surprisingly assured hand with extreme long takes, a technique he may have learned as a writer on Tay Garnett’s Her Man. DCP. 80 min. Wednesday, November 2, 4:30 (introduced by Michael Pogorzelski, Director, and Heather Linville, Film Preservationist, Academy Film Archive) Sunday, November 6, 4:00 p.m. The Front Page. 1931. USA. Directed by Lewis Milestone. Screenplay by Ben Hecht, Charles MacArthur, based on their play. With Pat O’Brien, Adolphe Menjou, Mary Brian.
