Best Movies Directed By Women – Part II
September 8, 2025 @ 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM
From 1929 to 2024, 601 movies were nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. Of those, 22 were directed by women. In this exciting, brand-new two-part multimedia presentation, we will examine all 22 fantastic Oscar-nominated best movies directed by women.
From Penny Marshall and Barbra Streisand to Greta Gerwig and Kathryn Bigelow, women have directed films that have inspired, entertained, or challenged us. Some of the movies are intimate dramas; others are sprawling epics.
Among the diverse and fascinating films we’ll examine:
Anatomy of a Fall
Awakenings
Children Of A Lesser God
The Hurt Locker
Lost In Translation
Promising Young Woman
Zero Dark Thirty
We will watch fabulous film clips and amazing behind-the-scenes stories of the productions and examine each film’s cultural significance. The films are presented chronologically.
Best Movies Directed by Women: part I covers films 1986 – 2013; Part II covers 2014 – 2024.
