Footage Not Found: Women on Top - Legacies of Women in Global Cinema

Footage Not Found: The IU Cinema Podcast

Indiana University Cinema’s new regular series “Women on Top” seeks to showcase a couple of things. It wants to show the audience that despite the large steps being made to amplify women's voices in the film industry, it has been primarily doing that through the role of the director when so many important and overlooked roles in the film industry have been shaped by women and femmes. It also seeks to give a window into the enriching opportunities and artforms outside of that director’s chair. This episode is a very brief tour of the IU Cinema’s fall “Women on Top” series, which trains a focused eye on the past, present, and future legacies of women global filmmakers, including directors but also writers, curators, cinematographers, costume designers, and more.

Footage Not Found is a co-production of the Indiana University Cinema and WFIU Studios.

Our theme song is “Only Ones” from the band Busman's Holiday off of their yet-to-be-released album Good Songs. You can find out more about them on busmansholidayband.com as well as by following them on Instagram @busmansholiday.
