"I am a Woman of Activity' Alice Guy-Blaché

Alice Guy-Blaché—history's first female film director and studio head—blazed a trail for women in cinema. Her empowering words reflect a fierce determination to break boundaries, defy gender norms, and demand the same recognition as her male counterparts. 

​

In honor of Alice Guy-Blaché, WiFT Louisiana hosts Alice Evenings where members network and we spotlight a member! Visit our Events page for more information.
