Reviews

This sequel by the late Pallister updates information in her Francophone Women Film Directors: A Guide (CH, Jul'05, 42-6218) and the earlier French-Speaking Women Film Directors: A Guide (CH, Jun'98, 35-5563). It is arranged in four chapters: Feature Films (Fiction), Documentaries, Shorts, and Sources. An unannotated bibliography, a helpful feature titled Selected World Festivals, and an index combining personal names and film titles conclude the book. Its strength, as with its predecessors, is its worldwide coverage of little-known French-speaking women film directors, along with their more famous counterparts. Directors are listed alphabetically by name within the first three chapters--an improvement over the multiple geographical listings used in previous editions. The overall structure of the guide is clearer than before. The provision of Internet and hard-to-find print citations for further research is welcome. Readers must remember to use this edition in tandem with earlier ones to get all the information provided. Summing Up: Recommended. CHOICE
