Alexis Krasilovsky writes (7/21/07): I’m excited to invite you to see my new feature film, “Women Behind the Camera.”
The World Premiere will be at the Globians World & Culture Festival in Potsdam, Germany on August 15, with a U.S. Premiere at the Moondance International Film Festival, Universal Studios CityWalk Theater, Hollywood, California, September 7-9. It’s the first documentary to examine the lives, work and challenges of camerawomen around the globe, from Hollywood to Bollywood, Afghanistan, Canada, China, England, France, Germany, India, Iran, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Senegal …
The camerawomen in the film range from top pioneers like Shu Shi Jun, who traveled throughout the New China as Mao Ze Dong’s cinematographer…to Ellen Kuras, ASC (“Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”)…to Rozette Ghadery, one of the first camerawomen in Iran, who shot a film about chemical warfare in Kurdistani Iraq. Also included is an interview with Hollywood producer Sarah Pillsbury (YC ’74).
Thomas McKenny of the International Cinematographers Guild has called it “an important film for everyone who collaborates on motion pictures and all who watch them. The most world-wide film since ‘Winged Migration.'”
For more information, please visit our new website at www.womenbehindthecamera.com. There’s a special section called “A Career Path for Women” which is great for daughters and friends considering this field. And please let me know what you think of the film!Best,Alexis (BK 71)
