Our next installment of Underrepresented Film History highlights director Vera Chytilová. A pioneer of Czech Cinema known best for her radical feminist themes and avant-garde style, Chytilová was a vital component of the Czechoslovak New Wave.
Following the censorship abolishment in the early 1960s, an outpouring of artistic liberty and socio-cultural commentary arose that had never been seen before under Communist rule. Chytilová’s most famous film, Sedmikrásky (Daisies), follows its two main characters, both named Marie, as they partake in an odyssey of indulgence and destruction once they decide to be as corrupt as the world around them.
Both Chytilová and Sedmikrásky have received newfound attention following the film’s latest screening at the 2022’s
Cannes film festival and Criterion’s latest film distribution.

As we enter our 7th year in operation, much has changed within the organization. What started as a small in-person meet-up in a room at NYU has grown to a thriving network of over 6k filmmakers. With this rapid growth, we at NYC Women Filmmakers (NYCWF) started to feel that our current name was a bit limiting. In an effort to better encompass our unique brand and offerings, we’ve debuted a new name and logo for 2022.
PANO, from panoramic / panorama, reflects our commitment to the wide spectrum of artists we serve – above and below the line, women, non-binary, and GNC folks. We hope that in this new name you will feel reflected, included, and proud to be a part of our community.
