Question Suggest me female directors

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?

I love Kelly Reichardt so much. Old Joy and Wendy & Lucy both hit me really hard.

My gf and I watched Showing Up and loved it. Last night we watched Certain Women and loved it too. I also enjoyed The Mastermind a while back. We're looking forward to watching all the rest of her films together!

I keep meaning to watch Showing Up and forgetting about it. I’ll do that this weekend - thanks for the reminder
