TUESDAY, MAY 7, 1:45PM & 6:30PM
https://www.grandcinema.com/films/be-natural-the-untold-story-of-alice-guy-blache/

I am Alice Guy-Blaché, the first female film director.I made my first film
in 1896 at age 23.I went on to write, direct, or produce more than 1,000
films.

Why, then, have you never heard of her?

Pamela B. Green's energetic film about pioneer filmmaker Alice Guy-Blaché
is both a tribute and a detective story, tracing the circumstances by which
this extraordinary artist faded from memory and the path toward her
reclamation.

*“With footnotes, parentheses, half-sentences, or no mention at all, many
talented, hard-working women of the past have become virtually invisible in
recorded film history.” *— Cecile Starr via BFI
