In 1896, young French producer-director Alice Guy became the world's first woman filmmaker, two years after Thomas Edison demonstrated the Kinetoscope in Paris and a year after the brothers Lumiare projected their first film. Guy may very well have been the first director to present a story on film, and she should be celebrated for her incredible achievement. But her 30-year career as an independent film director was nearly forgotten by 1953 when the French government very belatedly awarded the 80-year-old filmmaker the Legion of Honor.
