WOMEN MAKE FILM: A NEW ROAD MOVIE THROUGH CINEMA
TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET
We’re getting near the end of this mammoth salute to female filmmakers. Tonight is installment nine of the Women Make Film documentary series, and the chapters of female film focus this week are called “Politics,” “Gear Change” and “Comedy.” (“Gear Change”? What the hell is that?) And afterwards, the films televised tonight and tomorrow by TCM include 1978’s Girlfriends, directed by Claudia Weill (at 12:15 a.m. ET), Parker Posey starring in 1995’s Party Girl (pictured), directed by Daisy von Scherler Mayer (2 a.m. ET), and, Wednesday morning at 7:45 a.m. ET, the 1914 silent film Martha’s Strange Predicament, directed by Mabel Normand.
