Dirigenterna (1987)
In refutation of Arturo Toscanini's cavil that women lack the necessary creative genius to be conductors, this documentary catches six contemporary women conductors "in the act." The women featured are: JoAnn Faletta, of the Queens Philharmonic; Victoria Bond of the Roanoke Virginia Symphony; Ortrud Mann of Sweden on a freelance conducting job; Veronika Dudarova of the Moscow State Symphony; Camilla Kolchinsky with the Israel Symphony; and Kerstin Nerbe with the Stockholm People's Opera. Though basically a documentary, there are some staged sequences depicting the difficulties women conductors undergo in preparing for their careers and finding and keeping work. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
