Films Directed by Women

In 2014, the movie « Mommy » directed by Xavier Dolan, got the Special Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival.

The script - a tumultuous relationship between a single mother and his hyperactive and violent son - and the bold direction electrified the audience. Shot in Montreal, the documentary by Tessa Louise Salomé tells the genesis of this family drama. It also reveals the failures of the society in Quebec : the failure of the mental institution and the impoverishment of the middle class

For twenty-five years Brenda Myers-Powell called herself 'Breezy' and she dominated her world, or that's what she thought. It was a world that had turned her into a teenage, drug-addicted prostitute. After a violent encounter with a 'john,' Brenda woke up in the hospital and decided to change her life. Today she is a beacon of hope and a pillar of strength for hundreds of women and girls as young as fourteen who want to change their own lives. 'Dreamcatcher' explores the cycle of neglect, violence and exploitation which each year leaves thousands upon thousands of girls and women feeling that prostitution is their only option to survive. By following the very charming, charismatic and truly empathic Brenda, we enter the lives of young women and see in verite footage their realities from their points of view. While the world may overlook these women and men, thankfully Brenda has not, providing an unflinching expose which contrasts seeming hopelessness against the difference that one ...

Filmmaker Penny Woolcock spent eight months in a parallel world, the world of the homeless, befriending people and finding out where they eat, sleep and socialise. While making her film, Woolcock realised that the very real problems of homeless people have very little to do with the lack of a roof over their heads or a bed to sleep in. Their problems come from their past lives - and are less easy to remedy. Despite the efforts of different charities to move people into homes, the streets are often where they feel safe and what they know best. In this moving documentary, Woolcock gives the seen-but-unheard residents of London's streets a voice.

Julia Reichert and Jim Klein (who were also responsible for UNION MAIDS - spotting a theme yet?) made this doco in 1983, fortunately in enough time to snag interviews with a number of senior citizens who were right in the thick of it way back when the communist party established itself in the U.S. SEEING RED takes us through the trials and tribulations of the party through the changes of the decades - the depression, the Spanish Civil War, World War II, the Cold War and subsequent HUAC hearings, the devastating revelations about exactly what kinda guy Stalin had become, and of course all the hardline propaganda that beleaguered them at every turn.
Even though the film-makers' sympathies lie clearly with their interview subjects, SEEING RED isn't meant to be pro-Pinko (while even now still holding on to their ideals these old folks admit the official party line lost its way, and point out where things went wrong). Pete Seeger (of The Weavers) gets to sing a few songs; Reagan, Nixon, McCarthy and even actor John Saxon make archival appearances. If you weren't aware of the full story behind this marginalised slice of history, then here's your chance to find out.
