On Women's Films: Across Worlds And Generations

This edited collection covers a wide array of texts by leading scholars in the field about female filmmakers- trailblazers of second wave feminism such as Agnès Varda, Barbara Loden, Cecilia Mangini, Chantal Akerman, as well as contemporary figures from all around the world. The collection ascertains the continuing value of female auteur perspectives on gender, feminine poetics, forms of embodiment such as endurance, labor and sexuality as well as on new geopolitical, national and transnational formations and history. Analyses of alternate expressions of moving image and genre hybrids broadens the purview on female auteurship and engagement.
