I spent 2015 only watching films directed by women (save for Noirvember, where all the films I watched had female writers), so this list is all films by female filmmakers. You can check out my entire project here: http://cinema-fanatic.com/a-year-with-women/

I discovered soooo many great films during this year it was really hard to whittle it down to just five, but these films really stuck with me (in order that I watched them):
Mansfield Park (1999; Patricia Rozema)
The queer spin on Jane Austen I never knew I needed.

Wanda (1970; Barbara Loden)
One of the most astounding films I’ve ever seen. I watched it twice this year and each time I felt the loss of Barbara Loden even deeper. What an artist.
Seven Beauties (1975; Lina WertMuller)
My first foray into Wertmuller. She’s definitely got a strong point of view.

Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1975; Chantal Akerman)
I love Chantal Akerman so much! She will be greatly missed. I’m glad I finally saw her masterpiece.

Paris Is Burning (Jennie Livingston; 1990)
So much hope and sadness all wrapped into one amazingly fabulous package.
