DEBRA ZIMMERMAN, Executive Director of Women Make Movies (April 2, 2002)

Women Make Movies was created in 1972 to address the under-representation and misrepresentation of women in the media and has become the leading distributer of women's films in North America. Zimmerman traces the gradual emergence of women as filmmakers in the 20th century, assesses the aesthetics and politics of feminist productions, and offers an overview of women's filmmaking internationally today.
