- Film reporter, film critic, TV host, writer, and all around movie geek, Alicia Malone reveals early stories of female directors in Hollywood, trying to reframe the idea that the very idea of a director is male, and why movies told from just one perspective affects us all. The world needs more female film directors so movies are not being portrayed in one paradigm. Alicia Malone, is passionate about classic films, independent movies and supporting women and minorities in film.
Alicia Malone has appeared as a film expert on CNN, Access Hollywood, E!, Entertainment Tonight, The Insider, MTV, Hollywood Today Live, MSNBC, HLN, KCBS, KTLA, AMC Theaters and she is a host on FilmStruck, a cinephile subscription service run by Turner Classic Movies and the Criterion Collection. She is also the creator and host of Fandango’s Indie Movie Guide. Her first book on the history of women in Hollywood is due out in August 2017.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Have you noticed that the negative comments or pushback are mostly from men?
I loved Alicia’s talk. Keep going, girl!
Exactly
My love with Neverending Story and Alicia Malone is... well neverending. You owned that auditorium once again.
It's always interesting to see female perspective like with Persepolis, Raw or even Wonder Woman or to find out one of your favorite films (Lords of Dogtown) is actually made by woman.
*This video is very interesting and inspiring! I'm female filmmaker too! Will be grateful for support on youtube*
Film is actually one of the few fields where men still dominate, and there's actual evidence that it's because of sexism still in that field today. There are more women going to film school today, but more successful male directors in Hollywood.
And soon there will be just female directors imposing their way of thinking and ideologies. Just wait
But I won't care about them
I might be coming from a different perspective but another reason could be because people might have change of interest or also there times director don't get hired from producers since they're more in charge of the whole production including the creative control, they prbs would be looking for someone who's good qualified for the job but depends on the situation
Alicia is great and speaking on something very important
So proud Alicia!
Love Neverending Story, movie and book! Alicia, you are very inspiring for all women! keep going!
This is a very fascinating talk , it's important to understand that cinema is never produced in vacuum and it's not a value neutral entity. It's an ideological apparatus that offers an interesting lens to view the social structures in any given society. The discussion of women in film needs to be grounded in the paradigm of representation, and who gets respected by whom. While this talk covers a good ground on the current debates in Hollywood keeping in mind the question of women in film, we must also look at the way women from minority communities and society can become a part of this attempt to democratize film. The global south perspective is also significant to this debate as very often most women from third world countries have minimal representation or get reduced to stereotypes, this makes it extremely difficult to access an already exclusionary cultural apparatus like cinema. When I say the third world , I don't mean it as an amorphous mass or a homogenous socio- cultural space, my point is that representation from the margins needs to become the norm Just a thought ....
meera bose also, p.s. If you are a writer, I sincerely would love to follow you... This isn't my primary TH-cam account and so I might not see of you reply. I use this account for research for my new blog project and it keeps my Playlists somewhat better organized 😉... I figured it's worth a chance to put myself out there, so to speak, and see if you wouldn't mind keeping in touch... I don't make a habit of doing so, but your writing made such an impression on me that it's worth taking a chance and seeing if you'd be open to connecting via social media... I am findable via Instagram as thisthatnewnew and Sherry Lynn on FB. If you get a chance, please do Pm me. I'd love hear from you in any case and connect. Have a rad summer. Hope to hear from you!! ✌️😊
Thank you, thank you for your talk, and helping to break stereotypes. I'm so happy to see more woman talking about our perspective. I hope one day it is normal for women to talk about being women without being attacked, critisized, or ignored. Thank you for doing your part by speaking.
Great video! Loved it
Alicia is one of the most intelligent film reporters- easily one of my favorite sources.
Love this!
I can't love this enough!
Terrific. And part of Alicia's ongoing campaign has resulted in A Wrinkle In Time.
That does not reflect well on her campaign. Terrible movie.
Let's pretend that movie wasn't directed by a woman, or that it even exists
This is really inspirational!!! We need more women in such fields.
Good talk, but I wanted to just point out that film isn’t all “Hollywood”. Alice Guy Blache wasn’t a Hollywood director- she was French, and Hollywood hadn’t become a film industry center yet.
I'm in the process of putting music down the movie is called hugzofhope... this is my story
What's everyone's favorite movie directed by a woman?
Lulu Wang's "The Farewell" is a must watch for movielovers who are soft for difficult family stories.
You talmi really better I miss you to heart to heart chance coming waiting You heartbroken
So men make movies from the same singular perspective? What a crock.
Doesn’t matter if the director is a female women an alien or whatever it matters that they made a good move some of these Hollywood director at large female now haven’t made a good movie for instants punisher war zone and many many many many many many many others
Ella Rosenblum Yes that is very true but it takes any type of special person to direct a movie it doesn’t matter if you’re male or female you have to have the right eight factor to direct any movie and some of the very early directors were women in the silent era
Kathryn Bigelow was the first woman to win an Oscar for best director for hurt locker
If you have 100 directors and 10
Make movies that don't suck. It's just that simple.
@@felipeangulo7812 You couldn't argue his point so you just try mock him instead. He's right tbh, if you make good movies then you'll get more and more directing jobs
didn't you watch the video? she's talking about that despite graduating 50% men and 50% women in film schools, female directors don't get money to produce their movies, so even if they have good or bad ideas for movies, they can't produce them.
Xav36degrees I don’t think you get how movies get funded, they have nothing to do with “good ideas”. It’s all about proving you can make a movie that makes money, getting directing jobs is all about negotiation and providing value. Have you ever just thought that maybe men are better at negotiating? Women tend to be less commanding than men
@@QuickstepLuna The vast majority of film students never get their projects financed. The reason men are more likely to be financed is because men are more likely to have demo reels of self-financed short films. Christopher Nolan and Quentin Tarantino both self-financed their first films off of minimum wage jobs.
Ella Rosenblum nowhere did I say women are not capable of making great films.
