The Fort Lee Film Commission sponsored a symposium Saturday dedicated to the first female filmmaker in cinema history, Alice Guy Blache, as part of the 2011 Garden State Film Festival in Asbury Park, NJ. The symposium, Reel Jersey Girls: Alice Guy to Today– a Century of Women in Film, was a key event, said Fort Lee Film Commission executive director , at what he called “the largest annual film festival in the state of New Jersey.”

Alice Guy Blache built Solax Studio in Fort Lee in 1912.
