Official synopsis: "The epic, four years in the making, still in production, is made up of forty “chapters” to be narrated by Tilda Swinton, Jane Fonda and other key women in cinema, still to be announced. Women Make Film: A New Road Movie Through Cinema follows in the footsteps of Mark Cousins’ The Story of Film: An Odyssey, to give us a guided tour of the art and craft of the movies. Using almost a thousand film extracts from thirteen decades and five continents, Cousins asks how films are made, shot and edited; how stories are shaped and how movies depict life, love, politics, humour and death, all through the compelling lens of some of the world’s greatest directors – all of them women."

AA: With eyes agog I follow this nonstop stream of miracles and wonders. A clip from the first film of Catherine Breillat, Une vraie jeune fille, which I have never seen. Deutschland bleiche Mutter by Helma Sanders-Brahms looks very much like a film worth revisiting based on these glimpses. Debra Granik's Winter's Bone I have not seen since the first run; it may have grown with the years.

The "Economy" chapter is a bit wayward... but who cares. Lucile Hadžihalilović (Évolution, Innocence) and Agnès Varda (L'une chante, l'autre pas and Sans toit ni loi) look great in these selections.

The "Editing" chapter ends intriguingly with Cecile Tang's The Arch, and other discoveries include a Czech film that I have never seen, Drahomira Vihanová's Squandered Sunday.
