There has been much written this year about women film directors and the lack of opportunities for them.
So as people are pulling together their best films of 2015, I thought I'd pick 16 films, one from each year since 2000 directed by a woman.
If you haven't seen any of them, do take the time to track them down.
What films would you add?
