Hi Everybody
I have just joined this forum and I am interested in learning more about British women dirctors, especially contemporary ones for my research.
I am interested in knowing titles of their work and achievements and your comments. Anything would help.
Thank you

Welcome Wafa Cinema...
Going back to the 30/40s there was the legendary Evelyn Spice who Directed many of the GPO pioneering shorts...one in particular 'A Job In A Million' showing a cockney lad training to be a telegram boy...amazing!
Plus of course Muriel Box (wife of Sydney) who Directed on her own at the start of the fifties...Films like 'The Happy Family' (lovely little film available on E-Bay) and 'Beachcomber'.
These two should give you a start.
Film Man.

As no one has mentioned her yet, I'll add Sally Potter.

Gurinder Chadha is probably the most commercially successful British woman film director around at the moment.
