How cool is it that our female filmmaker every Friday was the chosen one to tell the story of the first female filmmaker ever? How cool is it that they share the same birth name and speak the same language? Be Natural: The Untold Story of Alice Guy-Blaché, a documentary on the first female filmmaker ever and narrated by Jodie Foster, premiered last Friday in Cannes as part of the Cannes Classics section. I’m happy this film was finally presented after so many years of hard work and at such an important festival. Congratulations to everyone involved! ? Here is Jodie pictured with director Pamela B.
