TALK coming up in June ... Silent Women: Female Directors Who Were Pioneers of Cinema In the first thirty years of filmmaking, more women worked as directors than in the thirty years that followed — and it's arguably not much better today. Yet the stories of these pioneering women have long been overlooked. In this talk, film historian Ellen Cheshire shines a light on the forgotten female directors of the silent era, exploring how recent research has brought their remarkable achievements back into view. About the Speaker Ellen Cheshire is a film historian, writer and researcher who regularly speaks at @chichestercinema and other venues. She contributed a chapter to Silent Women: Pioneers of Cinema, published by Aurora Metro — the press that also campaigned for and funded the statue of Virginia Woolf in Richmond. Details: Tuesday 16 June 2026 14:00 16:00 Assembly Rooms (The Council House) Doors open at 2pm talk starts at 2.15pm Tickets £8..50, inc refreshments Book via our website: chichesterwomenshistorygroup.org
