Highlighting rising women directors alongside ground-breaking
pioneers, this is a one-stop guide to the leading women film
directors in the 21st century, and those who inspired them. This
collection of essays, by an impressive array of international
writers, examines the progress of women film directors around the
world, and arrives at some surprising conclusions.
From the blockbusters of the Hollywood studios to emerging voices
from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Laos, we learn of women making
films in traditionally male-dominated areas such as action, fantasy
and horror. With wide-ranging contributions from countries with
mature and nascent film industries, "Celluloid Ceiling"
demonstrates that economic and technological changes are creating
new opportunities for women film directors everywhere.
With contributions from Africa, Latin America, Europe, USA, Asia
and India, chapters on new voices in Japanese and Middle Eastern
cinema, the book also covers women directors working in TV, and
reminds us of the first woman director, Frenchwoman, Alice Guy
Blache. Exploring the rise of the independent film sector including
the horror aficionados the Soska Sisters, "Celluloid Ceiling" asks
whether economic and technological change will work to the
advantage of women in film.
"Celluloid Ceiling" follows in the footsteps of Supernova's "Women
Make Noise," which lifted the lid on the widespread and destructive
misogyny that still plagues the rock music world.
