Film pioneer refusing to fade
Alice Guy-Blaché was the world’s first female film director — and one of its first fiction filmmakers, period. She directed hundreds of films, only to be systematically erased from cinema history. In this portrait, she takes center stage, while ghostlike male figures linger behind her: a visual metaphor for the erasure she endured. The work is both tribute and reclamation — of visibility, authorship, and voice.

In 1906, Alice Guy-Blaché imagined a world where men and women swap roles. The result? A comedy of manners that feels more Monty Python than manifesto. I show it here not as history, but as proof: laughter is the best critique.
