At a time when men in certain circles feel compelled and emboldened to weaponise their fragility in the face of advancing feminism, the world needs a hero like Wonder Woman more than ever. Created more than 75 years ago, and one of DC’s “big three’ characters, Princess Diana of Themyscira has bafflingly always been deemed too risky a property to headline her own feature film. Women behind the camera are equally unsettling for studios, so kudos must be given to Warner Brothers and DC for doubling down on the property, not only giving Diana her own summer tentpole release, but handing the reins to director Patty Jenkins. Even Marvel have shied away from female-focused entries in their cinematic canon, but if the Justice League is...

When one thinks of Korean cinema, it may take more than a few minutes to get to the discussion of female filmmakers. Names like Kim Ki-duk, Park Chan-wook and arguably the most beloved of all Korean auteurs, Hong Sangsoo, will lead any conversation about this part of world film. That will all change if this year’s New York Asian Film Festival has any say in the matter.
As part of the 2015 festivities, the festival is highlighting women filmmakers in Korea, while shining a direct light on someone arguably even more powerful. As head of Myung Films, producer Shim Jae-myung is the central focus of the festival’s sidebar: Myung Films: Pioneers and Women Behind The Camera in Korean Film. Nyaff 2015 screened a handful of the producer’s greatest achievements, such as Ki-duk’s brilliant The Isle, but the real highlight comes in one of the studio’s recent releases,...
