Mirrors to Windows: The Artist as Woman is directed by the Emmy award winning director Susan Steinberg and is a unique film following an international cast of three generations of women artists from Egypt, France, Germany, Iran, the United States and the United Kingdom who are forging their careers in the heat of the London art scene. The artists are: Maliheh Afnan, Alice Aderson, Helaine Blumefeld OBE, Jodie Carey, Susan Collins, Nermine Hammam, Charlotte Hodes, Sarah Lederman, Almuth Tebbenhoff, Rosie Wylie RA. 

The film, which was filmed over a 3 year period,  is an intimate journey moving the lens between art and life to reveal the dynamic and multi -faceted story of this enigmatic calling: It is in the negotiation between art and life, that the artist emerges.

“It was important that the film not portray women as underdogs, but engage the audience with women who are    empowered through their self esteem, their commitment to their work, their vision and their highly personal approach to what it means to be an artist and a woman and not confined to one role” says Susan Steinberg
