Hello

Is there a way I can get a list of films directed by women from 2015-2020?

Thank you

@MovieList Yes, this is possible but only on IMDbPro.  If you have an IMDbPro subscription or free trial then the following link will produce the results you require -> https://pro.imdb.com/discover/people?profession=director&ref_=hm_nv_ppl_dir&genderIdentity=female&sortOrder=RELEVANCE&pageNumber=1&minNumOfReleasedCredits=1&creditEndYear=2023&creditBeginYear=2015 

Hope this helps.

Hi there 

Thank you Col_Needham for your recent response about a movie list. (I'm trying to get a list of films directed by women for the years 2015-2020). I have joined IMDbPro as suggested. I can get lists of movies but how do I filter for female directors? 

If I could do that, that would be great. I would also like to filter a list for female writers/directors of films.

Many thanks for your time. It is greatly appreciated.

@MovieList​ See the link above for the directors. 

To find writers/directors (or people working in any other profession), start at the People menu at the top of every IMDbPro page — you can then use the menu on the left of this page to apply various filters. You can then visit the pages of the resulting names to locate the specific projects they have written/directed/etc. 

If you want to search by title, start at the Titles menu at the top of the page.  You can use the title-directed-by-female keyword in the plot keywords section there to find a list of female directed titles -> https://pro.imdb.com/discover/title?type=movie&sortOrder=MOVIEMETER_ASC&ref_=dsc_pe_nv_tt_tmm&pageNumber=1&plotKeywords=title-directed-by-female&earliestReleaseDateMin=2015-01-01

Hope this helps.

@MovieList​ Also, you can search by the same keyword (but with a less rich set of additional filters) on the main IMDb site using advanced search at https://www.imdb.com/search/title/

Here are all the films with the title-directed-by-female from 2015 onwards there too -> https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?title_type=feature&release_date=2015-01-01,&keywords=title-directed-by-female&count=250
