<p><a href="https://boxd.it/3ZVxm" rel="nofollow"><b>Check out the official top 100 narrative feature films by women directors list</b></a></p><p><b>FAQ (please read before commenting)</b></p><p><b>1) Why is [movie by male director] on here?</b><br />In most cases (Slumdog Millionaire, The Act of Killing, Out 1, Bela Tarr's movies) there's a female co-director who isn't credited everywhere. When it comes to new movies the reason is often that by the time I added the movie they credited as co-director and the credit was later changed to something else. Most of the time it's explained somewhere in the comments but of course it's possible that I accidentally added something that shouldn't be on here.<br /><b>2) Why is everything pink?????</b><br />It's sorted by colour, which you would notice if you spent more than 10 seconds looking at the list before commenting.<br /><b>3) Why is [movie by trans director] on here?</b><br />Trans women are women, if they made movies before they came out as trans women I'm gonna include it.<br /><b>4) What's the point of this list?</b><br />Female directors are still underrepresented in the film industry and this list is a place to highlight their movies no matter how good or bad they might be. If you want to watch more movies directed by women but are overwhelmed by the amount of movies on here I'd recommend you <a href="https://boxd.it/2qIJg" rel="nofollow">this list.</a><br /><b>5) Do you add shorts?</b><br />No. The list is already long enough as it is. Unfortunately that means I can't include a lot of silent films but I have a separate list for them <a href="https://boxd.it/ZL2G" rel="nofollow">over here.</a><br /><b>6) Do you take recommendations?</b><br />Yes!!</p>

<p>Must have a woman as its:<br />☑️ lead, co-lead, or subject;<br />☑️ director or co-director; <i><b>and</b></i><br />☑️ writer or co-writer (screenplay, story, or source material).</p><p>If you happen to find the comments open and notice there’s anything missing <i><b>that fits the criteria above</b></i>—particularly non-American films—feel free to let me know. I get a lot of notifications on this list so I seldom reply, but if your suggestion belongs here I’ll add it.</p><p>This list is curated to invite reflection upon women’s perceptions and depictions of themselves and/or other women as they are presented through the medium of cinema, as films made by <i>and</i> about women are among the minority worldwide. For those interested, stats and research into this subject are available on the website of San Diego State University’s <a href="https://womenintvfilm.sdsu.edu/research/" rel="nofollow">Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film</a>.</p><p><b>As of January 2026, this list contains films in 86 languages from 147 countries and over 3,750 directors across a timespan of 121 years.</b> See the <a href="https://letterboxd.com/meagan/list/stuff-by-women-about-women/stats/" rel="nofollow">Stats</a> page for more.</p><p>Special congratulations to @M█████_F██████ (now blocked and thus his comments are hidden) for accidentally summing up more succinctly than I ever could why this list exists, while simultaneously missing the point:</p><blockquote><p>I’m thinking of making a list of films made by men. That would take me an infinite number of years 😂😂😂😂 .</p></blockquote><p>Since this list is much less time-consuming to make—enjoy!</p><p>- - - - - - - - - - -</p><p><b><i>Update 11/16/24:</i></b> As a courtesy to the Christmasheads, all Christmas movies are now cross-listed on <a href="https://boxd.it/ArHaC" rel="nofollow"><b>Christmas stuff by women, about women</b></a>.</p><p><b><i>Update 2/4/24:</i></b> (1) All stand-up specials, stage performances, concerts, music videos, “behind-the-scenes” and “making-of” films, standalone TV show episodes, and all other similar listings have been migrated over to a new list: <a href="https://boxd.it/stSBG" rel="nofollow"><b><i>More</i> stuff by women, about women</b></a>. Documentaries and miniseries remain on the main list along with regular ol’ movies. (2) This list is now sorted by Average Rating (High to Low). Should you ever wish to browse the list the way it was before, simply <a href="https://letterboxd.com/meagan/list/stuff-by-women-about-women/by/popular/" rel="nofollow">sort by Film Popularity</a>.</p>

> The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF, stylized as tiff) is one of the largest publicly attended film festivals in the world, attracting over 480,000 people annually.
>
> Founded in 1976, TIFF is now one of the most prestigious events of its kind in the world. In 1998, Variety magazine acknowledged that TIFF "is second only to Cannes in terms of high-profile pics, stars and market activity". In 2007, TIME noted that TIFF had "grown from its place as the most influential fall film festival to the most influential film festival, period". This is partially the result of TIFF's ability and reputation for generating "Oscar buzz".
>
> The festival's People's Choice Award—which is based on audience balloting—has emerged as an indicator of awards-season success. Past recipients of this audience accolade include Room, The Imitation Game, 12 Years a Slave, The King's Speech, Slumdog Millionaire, Silver Linings Playbook, and La La Land.
>
> The following is a complete list of all feature-length films shown at the Toronto International Film Festival since 1976. Notes indicate the year the film was shown and if it was awarded a prize.
