Autobiographie d'une pionnière
By Alice Guy
"If this text had been published in history books, taught in schools, read on the radio, adapted on television, our world today would be so different. Our perspectives, our imaginaries, our ways of representation, would be completely different. By hiding Alice Guy, not making her 'the woman behind the camera,' history has deprived us of a century of narratives and the possibility of another kind of cinema. We have wasted so many years waiting for these models! By erasing her name from film catalogs, hundreds of other women have been denied the right to dream of themselves as filmmakers. If only they could have heard these words from Alice Guy affirming how legitimate their dreams were."
Nathalie Masduraud & Valérie Urrea
