“We want the diversity of the world that is
around us represented both in front of and behind the camera, and on our
screens as a result.” In agreement
with these words spoken by acclaimed director Mira Nair, Disney+ Hotstar
Premium has a richly diverse library which includes a line-up of superhit
international titles directed by talented female filmmakers. These include
award-winning titles, like the recently released Nomadland which swept the
Oscar Awards this year. Chloe Zhao
created history by becoming the first woman of colour, and only the second
woman ever, to win the award for Directing. From the smashit The One and Only Ivan helmed by
acclaimed British director Thea Sharrock
to Black is King, a visual album directed, written, and executive
produced by the Queen of Pop Beyonce,
these titles from across genres feature strong messages, stories, or
characters. Here’s a list of 10 handpicked titles with female directors that
