I’m not afraid. I took the challenge that the cinetrix threw my way. (Yes, yes … it’s ALL about me!) I got six out of 10 on The Guardian’s “All the Reel Girls” quiz, which apparently means the following:
Elder sister.
You’re keen to embrace the history of cinema from a woman’s perspective, but something’s holding you back. It may be years of neglect on the part of the media, it may be self-effacement on the part of film’s female greats. Or it may be a penis.
Guess they got me pegged. Still I was impressed that I actually got six of them right. I’ll admit, my studies of early female filmmakers is lacking — I know Dorothy Azner, but I don’t know anything aboutDorothy Azner. Besides, I hate how everyone always blames the media for everything so I’ll just hide behind the penis excuse. If it works for The Guardian, it works for me.
