Academy Award winning filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar was born in a small Spanish town in 1949. In the early 1970s, his interest in cinema blossomed and without the funds to attend film school, he saved his money to buy a camera and began making short films with his friends. His 1980 feature film debut, PEPI, LUCI, BOM AND OTHER GIRLS LIKE MOM became a breakout success, and led to an illustrious career with now over 20 feature films under his belt. Today, Almodóvar is a pinnacle in the cinema industry, with an impeccable repertoire of acclaimed works including PAIN & GLORY, ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER, VOLVER and TALK TO HER. "Cinema has become my life," Almodóvar states. "I don't mean a parallel world, I mean my life itself. I sometimes have the impression that the daily reality is simply there to provide material for my next film."
Celebrate the iconic female directors, and characters, who made the film industry what it is today. Both in front of and behind the camera, these are the iconic women who, as Maya Angelou once said, will make you “proud to spell [your] name W-O-M-A-N.”

"No matter how many times you do it, you don't get used to the sadness - for me at least - of coming to the end of a film." -Paul Thomas Anderson After being the first kid on his block to own a VCR, Paul Thomas Anderson seemed destined to be a filmmaker. A graduate of NYU's film school, Anderson leapt onto the scene in 1996 with his first feature, Film Independent Spirit Award nominee HARD EIGHT. From that moment forward, he continued to write and direct such acclaimed titles as INHERENT VICE, PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE, and 2021's LICORICE PIZZA.
