  • Black women filmmakers have made contributions throughout the history of film. According to Nsenga Burton, writer for The Root, "the film industry remains overwhelmingly white and male. In 2020, 74.6 percent of movie directors of theatrical films were white, showing a small decrease from the previous year. In terms of representation, 25.4 percent of film directors were of ethnic minority in 2020. Of the 25.4 percent of black filmmakers, a small percentage was female. Around 30 percent of film makers are women, and approximately 7 percent of all film makers in the film industry are African-American. Many of the dramas by black women film makers have portrayed subjects such as racism and misogyny. Television programs, and films such as I May Destroy You, Daughters of the Dust, and Middle of Nowhere are a few examples of audio/visual media that have portrayed issues centered around a community of African-American women. Since the early 1900s black women have used film to portray the real-life problems faced by women in the African-American community. (en)
