A documentary that spans 13 decades and five continents to give a guided tour of the art and craft of movies as told by female filmmakers.

As told through clips from 183 female directors, this epic revisionist history of the cinema focuses on women's integral role in the development of film art. Using almost a thousand film extracts from thirteen decades and five continents, Mark Cousins asks how films are made, shot and edited; how stories are shaped and how movies depict life, love, politics, humour and death, all through the compelling lens of some of the world's greatest filmmakers - all of them women.—Ulf Kjell Gür
