The research article identifies Alice Guy-Blaché (born 1873 near Paris) as the first director in history. A new six-episode series titled 'Alice,' created by Tim Loane and Claire Lemaréchal, portrays her. The series, produced in co-production between HBO Max and France Télévisions, features Bérénice Bejo in the title role, supported by a cast including Thibaut Évrard, Oscar Lesage, Irène Jacob, and Sophie Nélisse.

The series is based on the book 'Alice Guy, la première femme cinéaste de l’Histoire' by Emmanuelle Gaume, published by Plon in 2015. The book is being reissued with a preface by the author, who recounts overcoming resistance from industry figures to write the work. The show, filmed between September and December 2025 in Paris, Belgium, Camargue, and Canada, is scheduled to premiere on December 4, 2026. [1]
