DocumentaryHistory

The epic life story of Alice Guy-Blaché (1873–1968), a French screenwriter, director and producer, true pioneer of cinema, the first person who made a narrative fiction film; author of hundreds of movies, but banished from history books. Ignored and forgotten. At last remembered.

VIBE

A deeply researched and reverent look at a forgotten pioneer. It feels like uncovering a lost treasure, celebrating a visionary woman whose contributions were unjustly erased. Inspiring and educational, it’s a vital piece of cinema history.
