WOMEN MAKE FILM: A NEW ROAD MOVIE THROUGH CINEMA
TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET
Tonight is the fourth installment of this fascinating documentary, and it’s the episode that not only examines three new aspects or “chapters” of filmmaking (“Staging,” “Journey,” and “Discovery”), but connects some of the earliest and most current female cinema directors. In this non-chronological study of film, the first woman filmmaker, Alice Guy-Blaché, finally gets mentioned and celebrated. And in the same installment, so does Patty Jenkins, director of Wonder Woman. And, as always, the documentary is followed by an all-night mini-festival of female films, including, this evening and tomorrow morning, 1988’s Salaam Bombay!, directed by Mira Nair (12:15 a.m. ET), and 1976’s Mikey and Nicky, directed by Elaine May (6:30 a.m. ET Wednesday).
