Elvira Notari

Elvira Notari (Salerno, 1875-Cava de' Tirreni, 1946), Italy's earliest and most prolific female filmmaker, made over sixty feature films and about a hundred documentaries. Her documentary-style films of street life in Naples are often seen as a forerunner of Italian neorealism.

Born Elvira Coda, she was of modest social origins. She married Nicola Notari. Together they founded Dora Film. She directed the films, while he worked as a cameraman.
