The Cultural Revolution prevented women directors of the Fourth Generation from pursuing their film-making careers until the late 1970s. By that time they were around forty years old. Younger women directors (the Fifth Generation) who embarked on film-making in the 1980s were mostly educated in the directing department of Beijing Film Academy. The development of women’s film-making in these crucial years was contemporaneous with the general renaissance of Chinese cinema. - source
