Soumyaa Kapil Behrens, of Bay Area Women in Film and Media, will discuss the life and times of Alice Guy-Blaché (1873-1968), the first woman filmmaker in the world.

A discussion will follow the presentation.

About Alice Guy-Blaché:

Creating her first motion picture in France in the 1890s, Alice Guy-Blaché went on to found her own successful production company in the US, directing, producing and writing more than 700 films. Clips from her films, which were edited to illustrate events from her personal life, are intercut with revealing excerpts from TV interviews with Guy-Blaché, photographs, reminiscences by family members, and interviews with film historians.
