Jane Campion, The Cinema Woman

France 2022, 98 min, English, Hebrew & English subtitles

Just as it had been during her film studies, so it was in her filmmaking career: in ceremonies and festivals, Jane Campion found herself alone—the only woman in a sea of men. Except Campion was never deterred by this. On the contrary—she knew that the stories she had to tell were different, and that she could see and show worlds that none of her colleagues knew. In a beautiful portrait featuring childhood stories, interviews with Campion throughout her career, clips from her films, and behind-the-scenes footage, she emerges as a remarkably sensitive artist with incredible self-awareness and an exquisite sense of humor. The first female director to win the Palme d’Or at Cannes (who has since won Oscars, BAFTAs, Golden Globes, and more) invites you on a guided tour of her inner world and the ideas that shaped her unique cinematic language.
