From indie darling to 'Queen of the Blockbuster', Greta Gerwig's talent and success as a filmmaker is one to behold. But, in looking at her early career as an actor, it becomes evident that her more performative path wasn't just about finding her feet as an artist but that all important voice post-MeToo. However, Gerwig's films — despite remaining female-centric — still manage to prove that her success is in not how she qualifies herself as a 'female' director... but, primarily, as a 'storyteller'. The course will not only highlight her director cuts but also lend further context with a history of women behind the camera.
