Black women filmmakers have made notable contributions throughout the history of film. According to Nsenga Burton, writer for The Root, "the film industry remains overwhelmingly white and male. In 2020, 74.6 percent of movie directors of theatrical films were white, showing a small decrease from the previous year. 2020 was also the best year to date in terms of representation of ethnic minorities in film, when 25.4 percent of directors were part of an ethnic minority group. Of the 25.4 percent of black filmmakers, a small percentage was female. In other words, while it may be apparent that Black women filmmakers are small in numbers, there are still many black women filmmakers who actively contribute to the film industry.
