Review Every aspiring filmmaker, every woman filmmaker should delve into this book, its panoramic view of filmmaking can only propel you forward. --Sight and Sound Magazine'This is a book to smack down on the desk of Thierry Fremaux, the director of the Cannes Film Festival (or any programmer, professor or snotty cinemagoer who claims women aren't as good at making films, or aren't interested in making them), as abundant evidence not only of international female filmmaking, but its dynamism, ambition and complexity.' --The F WordThe arrival of a new book, 'Celluloid Ceiling'could not be more timely. It takes a purposefully global overview of the status quo and in doing so provides some fascinating stories and insights, reminding us of what is lost when we limit the discussion to Anglophone directors. --Indiewire About the Author GABRIELLE KELLY,screenwriter and producer, is also a media educator and story expert.
