Calling the Shots

Employing archival footage and candid interviews of contemporary directors, producers, screenwriters and actresses, "Calling the Shots" focuses on the diversity of films being made by women today, the power structures of the industry, and the women who hold such power. Fused with the cinema-verité style so brilliantly displayed in the 1982 Genie award-winning P4W: Prison for Women, Cole and Dale delicately weave an entertaining and compelling tale of women's struggle and acceptance in the film industry. The result is a powerful documentary that not only addresses and explores the unique contribution of women to film, but illuminates the personal side of these women's accomplishments. (Films We Like)
