Movies directed by women
by morphtzikas | created - 03 Mar 2019 | updated - 26 Nov 2022 | PublicBy no means an exhaustive list of notable films by women filmmakers. I have chosen not to include movies directed by a large number of people, such as anthology films, which usually feature mixed-sex groups of directors. I will add a few more films in the weeks to come. Feel free to make suggestions in the comments.
