Céline Sciamma’s film, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, offers a countermeasure to centuries of the male gaze in art, reaching out to other female artists and poets in its study of desire and creation. – Serena Scateni, LFF/BFI. More:
‘Wonder Woman’ (1941) was conceived by Dr. Marston to set up a standard among children and young people of strong, free, courageous womanhood; to combat the idea that women are inferior to men, and to inspire girls to self-confidence and achievement in athletics, occupations and professions monopolized by men. – Jill Lepore, The New Yorker.

Mesopotamian princess, priestess, writer and poet, who authored hymns to the love goddess Inanna (Semitic Ishtar), also noted difficulties in the creative process. Apparently, writer’s block was a problem even in 2285-2250 BCE. – Louise Pryke, The Conversation. More:

The King Arthur legend has multiple elements, among them a love story involving the king, Guinevere, and Sir Lancelot. This version incorporated fantasy, swords, sorcery, and FX, but didn’t bother with romance or significant female characters. – Tom Brueggemann, IndieWire. Read More:
Siduri, goddess of beer, urged the hero Gilgamesh to enjoy life’s simple pleasures — the company of loved ones, good food and clean clothes — perhaps an example of Mesopotamian mindfulness. — Louise Pryke, Macquarie University, The Conversation. Read More:
“Indian mythology is a new medium of choice for feminist narratives (and it’s working).” – Urmi Chanda-Vaz, Scroll.in. Read More:
James Cameron provides audiences with a rich film experience by using all three levels of brain stimulation simultaneously: biological stimulus, social emotion, and intellectual metaphor. – Mike Hill, Film & Game Concept Designer.
