Alice Guy Blache (1873-1968), the world's first woman filmmaker, was one of the key figures in the development of narrative film. From 1896 to 1920 she directed 400 films (including over 100 synchronized sound films), produced hundreds more, and was the first -- and so far the only -- woman to own and run her own studio plant (The Solax Studio in Fort Lee, NJ, 1910-1914). However, her role in film history was completely forgotten until her own memoirs were published in 1976.This new book tells her life story and fills in many gaps left by the memoirs.

This work tells her life story and provides a close analysis of 100 films of hers that survive. It includes 75 photographs, including ones from her films and of herself.
