Description: Johanna Alemann is believed to be the first woman filmmaker, operating as a sole proprietor, to run an academic film company in North America. Her subjects ranged from history to art. She made 20 films for her company, Alemann Films, and passed away on November 12, 2012 at the age of 89. This photo essay, made her friend of 20 years Stewart Nestor, is a memorial to her. Her films have been uploaded to the Academic Film Archive of North America collection at the Internet Archive, as has Nestor's award-winning short documentary, "Mr. Alemann.".
