New Exhibit
Women in Early FilmNWHM is pleased to announce the launch of its latest online exhibit, "Women in Early Film". Today's exceptionally talented women in film stand on the shoulders of the pioneers who came before them. Women in Early Film explores some of those trailblazers. As both consumers of film and professionals in the field, both in front of and behind the camera, women dramatically affected the development of American film.
