With the increasing production and use of data in the wake of digitalization, the goal of feminist film historians to increase the visibility of women's work in film history has taken on a new urgency (Dang 2020). Through the production, processing and dissemination of data, blind spots can be maintained or amplified, but also minimized (Wreyford/Cobb 2017; D’Ignazio/Klein 2020). In her presentation, Sarah-Mai Dang will show how digital data visualization can help us to open up research on women in early cinema and thus make their impact in film history more visible. By presenting a case study on the Women Film Pioneers Explorer ( <ref xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" target="https://www.online.uni-marburg.de/women-film-pioneers-explorer">https://www.online.uni-marburg.de/women-film-pioneers-explorer</ref>, Dickel et al. 2021), she seeks to discuss how visualized visions about the past can be defined as situated knowledges.
