Female Directors in Hollywood & Impact of Movies Made From 1 Perspective | Alicia Malone | TEDxBend

Have you noticed that the negative comments or pushback are mostly from men? I loved Alicia’s talk. Keep going, girl!

Alicia is great and speaking on something very important

This video is very interesting and inspiring! I'm female filmmaker too! Will be grateful for support on youtube

My love with Neverending Story and Alicia Malone is... well neverending. You owned that auditorium once again. It's always interesting to see female perspective like with Persepolis, Raw or even Wonder Woman or to find out one of your favorite films (Lords of Dogtown) is actually made by woman.

Great video! Loved it

Love Neverending Story, movie and book! Alicia, you are very inspiring for all women! keep going!

This is a very fascinating talk , it's important to understand that cinema is never produced in vacuum and it's not a value neutral entity. It's an ideological apparatus that offers an interesting lens to view the social structures in any given society. The discussion of women in film needs to be grounded in the paradigm of representation, and who gets respected by whom. While this talk covers a good ground on the current debates in Hollywood keeping in mind the question of women in film, we must also look at the way women from minority communities and society can become a part of this attempt to democratize film. The global south perspective is also significant to this debate as very often most women from third world countries have minimal representation or get reduced to stereotypes, this makes it extremely difficult to access an already exclusionary cultural apparatus like cinema. When I say the third world , I don't mean it as an amorphous mass or a homogenous socio- cultural space, my point is that representation from the margins needs to become the norm Just a thought ....

So proud Alicia!

Film is actually one of the few fields where men still dominate, and there's actual evidence that it's because of sexism still in that field today. There are more women going to film school today, but more successful male directors in Hollywood.

Alicia is one of the most intelligent film reporters- easily one of my favorite sources.

Love this!

Thank you, thank you for your talk, and helping to break stereotypes. I'm so happy to see more woman talking about our perspective. I hope one day it is normal for women to talk about being women without being attacked, critisized, or ignored. Thank you for doing your part by speaking.

I can't love this enough!

Terrific. And part of Alicia's ongoing campaign has resulted in A Wrinkle In Time.

Good talk, but I wanted to just point out that film isn’t all “Hollywood”. Alice Guy Blache wasn’t a Hollywood director— she was French, and Hollywood hadn’t become a film industry center yet.

This is really inspirational!!! We need more women in such fields.

What's everyone's favorite movie directed by a woman?

I'm in the process of putting music down the movie is called hugzofhope... this is my story

Lulu Wang's "The Farewell" is a must watch for movielovers who are soft for difficult family stories.
