Lois Weber: Film Pioneer

“Lois Weber was the most successful of all the women directors in the first quarter of the 20th century and, at the time, was placed alongside the likes of D.W. Griffith and Cecil B. DeMille as the major innovative forces in filmmaking.” ​— Cari Beauchamp, IndieWire

"Underappreciated by modern cinephiles, Weber’s work is a true rarity. While depressingly few women of her time achieved her level of creative independence in cinema, Weber’s use of that work to promote social justice and equality is also unprecedented in the work of her peers." — Jon Hogan, Hyperallergic
