Challenging the Canon: Women Filmmakers in Interwar Eastern Europe explores the contributions of lesser known women in the cinema industries of east-central, eastern, and south-eastern Europe, including the western USSR, not merely to restore them to film history but to reveal the complexity of the challenges they faced at a pivotal period in both cinematic and world history.

The two decades following World War I were tumultuous ones in European cinemas. This era of challenges affected all filmmakers, but especially pioneering women; not only the very few well-known directors like Germaine Dulac and Leni Riefenstahl, but also the women scriptwriters, editors, producers, costume and set designers, film critics, etc., whose contributions warrant research and recognition.
