Wanda
Barbara Loden / US, 1970 / 102 min.
This empathetic, heart-rending portrait of a woman stranded on society’s margins has developed into a highly influential work. This makes Barbara Loden the first female director of a feature film that saw cinematic release since Ida Lupino.
Barbara Loden’s first and only feature film, that focused on an – at the time atypical – character, was a groundbreaking work in American independent cinema. Wanda is set in Pennsylvania’s soot-choked landscape and was shot in an intensely intimate, vérité style, on course 16mm film stock.
