Mira Nair | Top 100 women
Film-maker behind such films as The Namesake, Amelia and Monsoon Wedding, for which she became the first woman to win the Golden Lion at Venice
Decades before Slumdog Millionaire, Mira Nair's Salaam Bombay! – a tale of Bombay street children – won awards at Cannes, and led to her setting up Salaam Balak – a children's charity that is still working with street children today. The Indian director went on to become the first woman to win the Golden Lion at the Venice film festival.Throughout her career working on films such as Vanity Fair, The Namesake and the Amelia Earhart biopic, Amelia, Nair has always insisted on putting women at the centre of her films - despite working with big Hollywood studios.
• This article was amended on 8 March 2011. The original headline said Mira Nair became the first woman to win the Golden Lion at Cannes. This has been corrected.

Warner Bros. to Offer Movies via Facebook
Warner Bros. plans to begin streaming its movies through Facebook. Facebook users will be able to rent and stream movies by spending Facebook credits and the studio plans to expand the program in the future to include purchasing as well as renting. The first film available to watch via this new streaming service is The Dark Knight, which will cost you 30 credits (i.e. $3, but of course Facebook has its own currency). More titles will become available for rental and purchase in the coming months.While it's impressive that WB has found yet another revenue stream (they recently released "App Editions" of The Dark Knight and Inception and they're launching a premium video-on-demand service in the coming months), the real story is Facebook. We're looking at the birth of yet another online competitor in the digital distribution world. Consider how many platforms Facebook has for users to browse their site.»
