Women Make Film: A New Road Movie Through Cinema

Melodrama, Sci-Fi, Horror & Hell

"Melodrama". A genre as popular as comedy, but what are some of the great scenes in melodrama? Sharmila Tagore narrates a story that takes us from the silent American film Shoes to Kira Muratova's brilliant Chekhov's Motifs to Binka Zhelyazkova's visually remarkable We Were Young. "Sci-Fi". Our look at sci-fi takes us to unusual places, other realms: Kathryn Bigelow, the Wachowski siblings, Patty Jenkins's Wonder Woman, Lori Petty's Tank Girl, and the TV version of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale. "Horror & Hell". Literal, figurative, political -- in Deepa Mehta's Earth, Samira Makhmalbaf's Blackboards, Jennifer Kent's horror masterpiece The Babadook, Joanna Hogg's squirm-inducing Archipelago, the Tunisian film The Silences of the Palace, and more.
