The passage summarizes the history of women directors in German cinema. It notes that in the early 1960s, a film distributor in West Germany promoted a new film directed by a woman named Erica Balgne as unusual, since very few women had directed films. The distributor claimed only one other woman had ever directed in German cinema, dismissing one example as a "special case." In reality, there were others besides the example given, Leni Reifenstahl.

One miserable winter evening, while sifting through some research material at the British Film
Institute, I came across a curious press release. Undated, but apparently written in the early
nineteen-sixties, it had been issued by a West German film distributor and bore the headline Is
film directing a male profession? This was intriguing since at the time it was unheard-of for a maledominated profession to spotlight deliberately its own gender imbalance.
The press release was part of a publicity campaign designed to promote a new film called Too
Young For Love, made by first-time director Erica Balgne. The film was unremarkable and hardly
original but the hook they came up with was the fact that it was directed by a woman. According to
the distributor, before Balgne, only one woman in the history of German cinema had sat in the
directors chair. This is not true: there were others, and the press release mentions the most
obvious example, Leni Reifenstahl, only to dismiss her as a special case. Nevertheless, the
number of women directors working in the cinema in Germany or indeed anywhere else in
Europe had been negligible.
It seems astounding that a mere 20 years later, Germany boasted one of the most vibrant and
critically acclaimed stables of women directors in Europe, and women film-makers existed in such
numbers as to warrant setting up their own trade association. This staggering transformation of the
film scene owes much to the womens movement and the campaigning initiative of the film-makers.
The secret of German women directors success is probably also their choice of subject matter.
Their films are often autobiographical or based on the lives of actual women; this means drawing
on the Nazi past and its aftermath, and has resulted in films which offer re-readings of historical
events from a female perspective.
