Writer / Actor Khanisha Foster on Filmmaker Alice Guy Blache
Alice Guy-Blaché was a filmmaking pioneer with a modern-day attitude, swapping gender roles, demanding diverse casts and not letting a man take credit for her work. She also originated the close-up (yes, it was not DW Griffith in Birth of a Nation, thank you very much!) and was an early adopter of sound. Writer/Actor Khanisha Foster tells us the dynamic story of how Alice rocked it in the early years of film. Video includes clips from Alice’s films!
