The Untold Story of Alice Guy Blache
Official Selection
It seems incredible to me that until very
recently the story of Alice Guy-Blache, of her contribution to
the craft of film-making, her talent and inspriation to others
has remained lost (or hidden, depending upon your perspective) As
one of the first directors to ever make a film and most certainly the
first woman she is an inspiration to female film-makers. She was a
spirited, prolific & awesomely talented woman.
The Untold Story of Alice Guy Blache

There is only one question that remains: Why don't we all
know about her contribution? At the very least, her name
should resound through the lecture halls of every film school
- after all Leni Riefenstahl gets this honour - and frankly as a
Nazi propagandist - this baffles me, despite her obvious
abilities. The fact that the story of the achievements and life
of Alice Guy-Blache remains hidden is a total mystery to
me,
and it's time that was changed.
