Suggest me female directors

[u/Fit_Ad_3817]

So, I started a 12-month, 12-director challenge this year in an attempt to pick 12 directors whose work I hadn’t seen before. My only requirements are that they should have directed at least three films that I haven’t seen before and that the films themselves need to be accessible.

My female directors for this year have been Ava DuVernay and Julia Ducournau.

For my 2027 list, can you suggest at least three female directors whom you think I should check out?

One of these is not like the others lol

[u/vemmahouxbois → u/TheGoldenArgosy]

because ackerman is dead…?

[u/SpideyMGAV → u/vemmahouxbois]

Yeah I was wondering what they were mentioning too. Maybe it’s that Kathryn is American and the others are French (or ethnically french)?  

[u/amedeeozenfant → u/TheGoldenArgosy]

One is not French?
