April Mullen
April Mullen () is a Canadian actress and filmmaker. Career In 2012, Mullen became the first woman to direct a live action, fully stereoscopic 3D feature film, ''Dead Before Dawn'' (2012)''.'' In 2015, she directed the neo-noir grindhouse feature film '' 88'' (2015). Mullen was sought out for comment when the study, ''Women in View on Screen'', concluded Canadian women mostly get to sit in the director's chair on small film and television projects, while men get the big-budget projects. Mullen has also commented on the perspective that women bring to filmmaking behind the lens: "Women have this vulnerability and connection to a depth of emotions that I can see and feel in certain moments of truth in the films we create. To me, the female gaze is transparency – the veil between audience and filmmaker is thin, and that allows people in more." She is also sought out for her perspective on the "female gaze" in movies. In 2016, Mullen directed ''Below Her Mouth'' in 2016, which ...

List Of LGBT-related Films Directed By Women
This is a list of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender-related films that were directed by women. LGBT-themed films directed by women – especially, but not exclusively, lesbian-themed movies – are an important and distinct subset of the genre. Academics have studied the issue of how women as directors contribute to the way lesbian stories, in particular, have been told; while LGBT media, and to some extent the mainstream, have examined the difference a "female gaze" brings to a film. Telefilms and documentaries are included in the list. Films co-directed with men are not included. Titles beginning with determiners "A", "An", and "The" are alphabetized by the first significant word. 0–9 * '' 2 Seconds'' (1998, Canada) by Manon Briand * ''A 20th Century Chocolate Cake'' (1983, Canada) by Lois Siegel * '' 3 Generations'' (2015, United States) by Gaby Dellal * '' 52 Tuesdays'' (2014, Australia) by Sophie Hyde * '' 533 Statements'' (2006, Canada) by Tori Foster A ...

Video On Demand
Video on demand (VOD) is a media distribution system that allows users to access videos without a traditional video playback device and the constraints of a typical static broadcasting schedule. In the 20th century, broadcasting in the form of over-the-air programming was the most common form of media distribution. As Internet and IPTV technologies continued to develop in the 1990s, consumers began to gravitate towards non-traditional modes of content consumption, which culminated in the arrival of VOD on televisions and personal computers. Unlike broadcast television, VOD systems initially required each user to have an Internet connection with considerable bandwidth to access each system's content. In 2000, the Fraunhofer Institute IIS developed the JPEG2000 codec, which enabled the distribution of movies via Digital Cinema Packages. This technology has since expanded its services from feature-film productions to include broadcast television programmes and has led to lower bandw ...
