Now that it’s the end of the year, and we are once again facing an awards season extremely lacking in female-directed films (in a year where many award worthy female-directed films were made), I thought that I would put together a list of my favourite films produced this year with women behind the camera. This year I watched 417 films, and 81 of them were directed by women, so it’s fair to say that I watched and loved many more - but these 10 stood out to me for various reasons. What were your favourites?

Herbarium specimen of common poppy, collected 1895 by Frances Giles, a pharmacist, near Folkestone, Kent. Royal Botanical Garden Kew / via flickr

As some of my followers might know, I am doing this quite some time, this is post 15.012. So there has been a lot of high interest postings which I did collect with a filter named tumblr 1000+ ♡… Top runner: 34.000 loved old keys, 35.000 liked vintage acquaintance cards or a Tiffany revolver, but 90.000 gave their heart to this specimen.

What makes me wonder (I have some ideas): Why is exactly this one so successful on tumblr? Why do people feel addressed, involved? It is just a dried poppy, no painting, no design, no name. Why so many likes?
