Although the proportion of female directors in the competition for major awards and festivals around the world is still low, these filmmakers exist and endure with a wide variety of stories. Studying them, therefore, is also part of this persistence in gaining more space in conversations about the seventh art.

In this course, you will delve into the trajectory and impact of great and prominent names, who challenged (and continue to challenge) industry standards to propose new ways of making films. The classes, divided into thematic overviews, start, in addition to the chosen films, from film, semiotic and philosophical theories. 

It is aimed at anyone who is interested in the directors listed or wants to know a little more about cinema made by women. No prior training is required to participate in the classes.
