"Guy-Blaché, a native of France, was the first female director in film history. She wrote, produced or directed at least 1,000 films before the 1920s, outpacing Edison along with her French peers, the Lumières and Georges Méliès. Where others saw moving images, she created stories." #AliceGuyBlache #femaledirectors #cinema #FortLee #NewJersey Fort Lee FIlm Commission Barrymore Film Center
