纪录片《女人世界》的拍摄因疫情没能继续
本片的中文名源于1939年的同名电影《女人世界》(导演:伍锦霞),该片由三十六位女明星合力演出,是首部全由女性出演的华人电影。电影的胶片现已遗失。
The Chinese name of this film comes from the 1939 film of the same name “It’s A Women’s World” (Director: Esther Eng). This is the first all-female cast Chinese film ever made, about 36 women living in the same apartment building. The original film is presumed lost.
