Offering fresh critical perspectives and extending previous scholarship, case studies range from The Lego Movie, Mad Max and Australian stars in Hollywood, to transnational co-productions, YouTube channels, transmedia and naturecam documentaries. New research on trends such as the Blak Wave, the convergence of television and film, digital transformations of screen production and the shifting roles of women, on and off-screen, highlight how established precedents have been transformed by new realities beyond both cinema and national borders. --

The female gaze in documentary film : an international perspective / Lisa French Cham, Switzerland: Palgrave Macmillan,
Call No: 761-02 FREAuthor: French, Lisa Edition: 2021Place: Cham, SwitzerlandPublisher: Palgrave MacmillanPhysDes: 276 pages : illustrated ; 22 cmSubject: WOMEN FILMMAKERS ; DOCUMENTARIES ; FEMINISM AND THE CINEMA ; HONKASALO, PIRJO ; LONGINOTTO, KIM ; JAIN, NISHTHA ; MANDY, MARIE ; KATES, NANCY ; ARMSTRONG, GILLIAN Summary: The Female Gaze in Documentary Film – an International Perspective makes a timely contribution to the significant rise in interest in recent times in the status, presence, achievements and issues for women in contemporary screen industries. It examines the works, contributions and participation of female documentary directors globally. The central preoccupation of the book is to consider what might constitute a ‘female gaze’, an inquiry that has had a long history in filmmaking, film theory and women’s art. It fills a gap in the literature which to date has not substantially examined the work of female documentary directors. Moreover, research on sex, gender and the gaze has been relatively infrequently the subject of scholarship on documentary film, particularly in comparison to narrative film or television drama. A distinctive feature of the book is that it is based on interviews with significant female documentarians from Europe, Asia and North America. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9783030680930Contents: Front Matter – Introduction.
