Vivian Maier , the hidden photographer

Imagine that at the age of 25 you start working as a nanny in New York in the 1950´s,  but in your free time you live a second life dreaming of being a photographer , taking pictures  of ordinary life without any expectations of being rewarded for it . Photos of anonymous people, like you ...till the end of your lige , at the age of 80 in an old people's home . 

Sometimes dreams come true too late 

Alice Guy-Blanché, another hidden figure

She was the first movie director and a pionner in the development of film-making industry.She was a groundbreaker in the field of film narrative technology and changed the format of filmmaking forever.
She wrote, directed, or produced more than 1,000 films and she was the first woman to build and run a film studio.
 Forgotten by the film industry , filmmaker Pamela Green wants to change that by paying homage to Guy- Blanché s through her film Be Natural, in reference to the acting style Alice encouraged the actors to use , paving the way for modern professionnal acting career 

Another unfair case of a woman's erasure from history , when history is written by men.
