Ava DuVernay, a pioneer of black female filmmakers, became the first black woman to win the US Dramatic Directing Award at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. DuVernay has also made history by becoming the first black woman director to be nominated for a Golden Globe. DuVernay has continued her career in filmmaking and her upcoming film "A Wrinkle in Time" is set to be released in 2018 with an estimated budget surpassing $100 million, which will make DuVernay the first black female to direct a live-action film with that large of a budget.

In 1991, Julie Dash became the first black female filmmaker to to have a full-length general theatrical release in the US for her film "Daughters of the Dust." The film was later recognized in 1999 by the 25th annual Newark Black Film Festival as one of the most important cinematic achievements in black cinema in the 20th century. "Daughters of the Dust" was placed on the National Film Resgistry by the Library of Congress in 2004, making this film one of 400 other American-made films that are preserved and protected as national treasures.[8]Sarahcohn (talk) 16:27, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

Peer Review 1: I chose to peer review Celia's contribution to this article. Celia added a lot of new and relevant information about Madam Toussaint Welcome, one of the first black women filmmakers. She cited the information used and added an important part about the history of black women filmmakers. She also included quotes, which she cited, proving the authenticity of the information.Sarahcohn (talk) 17:56, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

Peer Review 2: Kaitlin added a lot of quality information about transfeminism. She did a good job of backing up her information as she did with the case of Kimberly Nixon. I think her contribution to the article would benefit from citing information about this case and added some quotes that prove her statements. She could also expand a little more on the relationship between the case and transfeminism. Sarahcohn (talk) 18:05, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
