Maria Plyta, Greece’s first female director, helmed 17 successful films between 1950 and 1970 – yet she remains largely excluded from the Greek cinematic canon and historical scholarly discourse.

Frida Kahlo’s surrealist self-portrait, El sueño (La cama) [The Dream (The Bed)] sold at Sotheby's for $54.7 million – setting a new record for the most valuable work of art by a female artist sold at auction. The painting, which depicts Kahlo lying in a bed surrounded by vines and a skeleton, surpassed the previous record held by Georgia O’Keeffe and is considered a signature piece that reflects Kahlo’s deeply personal struggle with chronic pain.

German director Isa Willinger’s new feature documentary, No Mercy, explores a provocative question posed by pioneering Ukranian filmmaker Kira Muratova that essentially asks whether women bring a more unflinching or “harsh” perspective to filmmaking. The film essay attempts to challenge stereotypes by featuring interviews with more than a dozen prominent female directors – including Céline Sciamma (Portrait of a Lady on Fire), Joey Soloway (Transparent), and Alice Diop (Saint Omer) – who reflect on power structures, cinematic language, and how women use the camera as an act of agency against real-life violence.
