NFB Women at the Oscars

In 2016, the National Film Board of Canada launched a pioneering gender parity initiative and has maintained its commitment to ensuring that half of its productions are directed by women and half of its key creative positions -screenwriting, editing, sound mixing, cinematography - are filled by women.

Flamenco at 5:15 by Cynthia Scott is a favourite of mine. Produced by Studio D, the women's studio of the NFB, the film won an Oscar in 1984 for Documentary Short Subject.
