Here's the 21st batch of #52FilmsByWomen watched since taking the pledge in 2016. This blog covers films watched between May - September 2024 directed/co-directed by women. This collection of 52 includes 3 documentaries, 31 full length fiction films and 18 short films. Most of the shorts I watch via #FemmeFilmFest , a 10-day online film festival celebrating women film directors from around the world.
Read about films: 1 – 52, 53 - 104, 105 - 156, 157 - 208, 209 - 260, 261 - 312, 313 - 365, 366 - 417, 418 - 469, 470 - 521, 522 - 573, 574 - 625, 626 - 677, 678 - 729, 730 - 781, 782 - 833, 834 - 885, 886 - 937, 938 - 989 and 990 - 1041.
