It’s #FemaleFilmmakerFriday! As I did last year, I’m beginning my new #DirectedByWomen thread with an Indie Spirit contender. And, since it’s Christmastide, I'm bearing witness to the religious musical bio-pic THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE (2025) by Mona Fastvold. #52FilmsByWomen #1 #Filmsky 📽️

In honor of #FemaleFilmmakerFriday, I rewatched BABYGIRL (2024). It turned out to be even less Christmasy than I remembered—one of those movies where it's pointedly the season but there's almost no Christmas trappings or mention of the holiday. #AdventWatch #6 #DirectedByWomen #Filmsky 📽️

It’s #FemaleFilmmakerFriday! I’ve been meaning to rewatch I’M YOUR WOMAN (Julia Hart, 2020) & LITTLE WOODS (Nia DaCosta, 2018) and when I saw them both on this list, I knew it was time.

I may have completed my #52FilmsByWomen pledge but it's still #FemaleFilmmakerFriday! Tonight's selection was HEDDA (2025) by Nia DaCosta. While the execution doesn't quite live up to the ambition, I admire the ambition. And the performances. Also, the Roxy Music needledrop didn't hurt. #Filmsky 📽️

We interrupt this #Noirvember to bring you this important #FemaleFilmmakerFriday #DirectedByWomen triple feature from the mother of the mayor-elect of New York City 📽️

It's #FemaleFilmmakerFriday and I'm here to wrap up my #52FilmsByWomen pledge by filling in some serious #DirectedByWomen gaps before the #FortnightOfFright begins tomorrow. First up, Mira Nair's most popular film, MISSISSIPPI MASALA (1991), is #51. Denzel + Sarita = Spicy! #Filmsky 📽️

This #FemaleFilmmakerFriday, more Hollywood horror hijinks with a rewatch from the vault of unscored long-ago watches: BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER (1992) by Fran Rubel Kuzui. Enjoyable, but should have been much better given the cast and script. #DirectedByWomen #52FilmsByWomen #49 #Filmsky 📽️

Since it's #FemaleFilmmakerFriday I'm following up my rewatch of ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 with new-to-me TENEMENT aka SLAUGHTER IN THE SOUTH BRONX (1985) by Roberta Findlay, In addition to being one of the rare films rated X for violence, it features the debut of Paul Calderon. #46 of #52FilmsByWomen

This #FemaleFilmmakerFriday, I'm continuing my run through new-to-me #DirectedByWomen classics with BORN IN FLAMES (1983) by Lizzie Borden. A pseudo-documentary about the 10th anniversary of a “social-democratic war of liberation" in NY just seemed right somehow. #42 of my #52FilmsByWomen #Filmsky 📽️
