Girl Talk is a weekly look at women in film — past, present, and future.

Produced for Kino Lorber by Bret Wood and curated by historian Shelley Stamp, the series includes a number of brand-new 2K restorations of classic (and often forgotten) films, mostly focused on female directors from America’s rich silent-era in cinema.
