Alice Guy at the Olympic Opening Ceremony

 

My post of the 27th February this year about Alice Guy was inspired by an article in the March edition of Sight and Sound magazine. The first female film director was French, and here she was, rising from The Seine at the Olympic Opening Ceremony along with nine other remarkable women from that country in the "Equalite" section. 

It took me a long time to find this photograph, most publications included photos of other statues of the ten. But then, low and behold, I found a piece from yalefilmarchive, who proudly announced this was she of their Alice Cinema. Hurrah!
