Women Make Film és una pel·lícula documental feta pel cineasta i crític de cinema britànic-irlandès Mark Cousins. La pel·lícula es va estrenar l'1 de setembre de 2018 al Festival de cinema de Venècia, i va ser afegida al BFI Player al Maia del 2020.
La pel·lícula està dividida a 40 capítols i dura un total 14 hores. Presenta la feina de 183 directores
En el 1990s, Cousins va preparar una programació de pel·lícules documentals i es va adonar més tard que només hi havia inclòs una pel·lícula feta per una dona. Això el va interessar per trobar i destacar dones cineastes de tot el món i al llarg de la història del cinema, que finalment va conduir a la creació d'aquest documental. La premissa de la pel·lícula és que no es tracta de dones cineastes ni de sexisme institucional; més aviat és un documental sobre el propi cinema i explora 40 aspectes diferents de la producció cinematogràfica, basant-se en una àmplia gamma de pel·lícules com a exemples, tots fets per dones.
L'acadèmica Laura Mulvey va comissariar l'esdeveniment inaugural de cinema femení al festival de cinema d'Edimburg el 1972, que va afirmar que "un festival de pel·lícules masculines seria simplement absurd. És perquè tan poques dones han estat capaces de fer pel·lícules que aquest festival existeix". Mulvey va dir sobre Women Make Film que "L'extraordinària extensió del treball, amb més de mil clips, té el potencial de treure a les dones directores fora de la classificació de gènere i de la història del cinema com a tal. Però també ofereix una oportunitat sense precedents per gaudir del cinema femení, visionant i reflexionant sobre la manera com les dones han vist i han creat el món a través del cinema, una font de meravella i d'especulació. " miniatura|Mark Cousins amb Jane Fonda a la gravació de la seva veu en off per a Women Make Film, 2018 El documental està narrat per Adjoa Andoh, Jane Fonda, Kerry Guineu, Thandie Newton, Tilda Swinton, Sharmila Tagore i Debra Winger.
L'organització benèfica The Birds ’Eye View organitzarà setmanalment festes de visualització i respostes i debats de Facebook Live sobre el documental de dones cineastes per al públic a casa durant els tancaments a causa de la pandèmia COVID-19.
