Women Film Pioneers Project
This massive, groundbreaking project from Columbia University’s Center for Digital Research and Scholarship highlights the role that women played in the silent film era, emphatically not just as actresses, but in editing, production, direction, writing, exhibition and design. Phase 1 of the project focuses on women in the USA and Latin America. Further phases will look at women in other national cinemas of the silent era. There is already a large amount of information available here, from Overview Essays, in-depth profiles of Pioneers, with biographies, filmographies and bibliographies and a Resources page, with links to archives, distributors, reference works and silent screen organisations.
