Screening Women Filmmakers is an essential collection of 58 chapters, each focusing on a single film directed by a woman-identified filmmaker, inclusively defined, from the earliest days of filmmaking (1896) to the present day, and from countries and regions around the globe.This volume offers students and scholars an inclusive survey of woman-made cinema through diverse critical-theoretical frameworks and methodologies. Each chapter examines the aesthetic, cultural, and political dimensions of its featured film, drawing upon the multifaceted perspectives and positionalities of both filmmakers and authors. The collection's global and historical scope—from early cinema to contemporary works—provides readers with a substantive understanding of the vibrancy and versatility of women's filmmaking across different contexts and movements. As part of the Screening Cinema series, it is specifically designed as a pedagogical resource with films selected for their accessibility and suitability for classroom screening and discussion.This book is essential reading for students and instructors in film studies, gender studies, and women's studies courses where film screenings are central to learning. It will appeal to scholars of feminist film studies and women's film history, as well as general readers interested in women's achievements behind the camera throughout cinema's past and present.

Recensioner i media

"Once upon a time, few observers believed that women had much to do with the history of cinema. The editors of Screening Women Filmmakers put that lie to rest, with a brilliant anthology of 58 essays on women's films from different time periods and different regions of the world, demonstrating the vitality and range of women's cinema."- Judith Mayne, Emerita Professor of French, The Ohio State University, USA"Screening Women Filmmakers is an extraordinarily rich collection. Celebrating the range and diversity of women’s filmmaking throughout cinema history and from across the world, it attests too to the many ways in which their work can be studied. It will be invaluable to scholars, teachers and students of film."- Sue Thornham, Emeritus Professor of Film and Media, University of Sussex, UK
