Name That Director (Comment Post Assignment Option)

This week you must post at least two comments on this blog. You can post comments on any posting.

Remember this video clip screened in class on the first day?

A suggestion: you could make a list of all the women directors you can think of (pictured in the clip, or not) in the comment field of this post.

The video clip isn't working on my computer (probably because it's a Mac), but here's a list of all the women directors I can think of. I'm not sure how to spell some of their names, though.

Lucrecia Martel
Lynne Ramsey
Jane Campion
Mary Harron
Agnes Varda
Agnes Jaoui (?)
Kimberley Peirce
Jennifer Jason Leigh (co-director, at least)
Adrienne Shelley (So sad about her!)
Joan Chen
Rebecca Miller
Sofia Coppola
Sarah Polley
Kathryn Bigelow
Nancy Savoca
Penelope Spheeris
Rose Troche
Miranda July
Julie Delpy
Lina Weismuller
Jennifer Lynch
Barbara Koppell
Kasi Lemmons
Amy Heckerling
Susanne Biers
Jodie Foster
Leni Riefenstahl
Catherine Hardwicke
Nora Ephron
Nicole Holofcener
Allison Anders

I promise I didn't cheat! I store movie/music information in the part of my brain that most people use to remember things like their student ID number and their friends' birthdays.

Peter, You ROCK!!! I'm very fortunate to have you in this class!
