Call No: 735.2-02 HELAuthor: Heller-Nichols, Alexandra Edition: 2020Place: OrlandoPublisher: BearManor MediaPubDate: 2020PhysDes: 592 pages ; illus. ; 27cmSubject: HORROR FILMS ; WOMEN AND THE CINEMA ; WOMEN FILMMAKERS ; WOMEN, FILMS MADE BY Summary: Blowing a kiss back through time and space from Aaliyah to Jill Rae Zurborg, 1000 Women in Horror, 1895-2018 is a love letter to both the stars and the often-invisible women who have made the genre what it is today. From Classical Hollywood to alt-Nollywood, mumblegore to J-horror, this book offers a tiny global snapshot of the vast number of women who have worked in the creation of dark and spooky movies for well over a century, both behind and in front of the camera, and in films both widely known and comparatively obscure.
Featuring a selected filmography of over 700 feature films directed or co-directed by women, this book also features interviews with Rutanya Alda, Tara Anaïse, Tonjia Atomic, Anna Biller, Axelle Carolyn, Aislinn Clarke, BJ Colangelo, Mattie Do, Julia Ducournau, Jordan Hall, Catherine Hardwicke, Katherine Kean, Karen Lam, Izzy Lee, Barbara Magnolfi, Marsha Mason, Donna McRae, Patrushkha Mierzwa, Hannah Neurotica, Alexandra Paul, Isabel Peppard, Cassandra 'Elvira' Peterson, Debbie Rochon, Mia'Kate Russell, Gigi Saul Guerrero, Elizabeth Shepherd, Jen and Sylvia Soska, Brinke Stevens, Barbie Wilde and Silvana Zancolò. -- Book jacketISBN: 9781629333878

Celluloid ceiling : women film directors breaking through / edited by Gabrielle Kelly and Cheryl Robson Twickenham: Supernova Books, 2014.
Call No: 802.253 CELSource: UKPlace: TwickenhamPublisher: Supernova BooksPubDate: 2014PhysDes: 383 pages : illustrations ; 20 cmSeries: Women and the artsSubject: WOMEN DIRECTORS ; WOMEN AND THE CINEMA ; FEMINISM AND THE CINEMA Summary: "With Katherine Bigelow making history as the first woman to win an Oscar for directing, is this a new era for female filmmakers? The numbers suggest otherwise. A San Diego University study published last year states that only 9% of Hollywood directors in 2008 were women - the same figure recorded in 1998. Celluloid Ceiling seeks to redress the imbalance in the ratio of male to female film directors by exploring the most inspiring new work appearing in the UK, US and across the globe. Highlighting emerging female directors alongside recognised pioneers (eg. Bigelow, Campion, Coppola), placing all in context and examining their influences, Celluloid Ceiling offers a one-stop guide to the leading female directors of 21st century. With particular attention paid to women making films in traditionally male-dominated areas - such as action movies and films featuring violence or pornography - the author hopes to show all budding filmmakers that women can overcome the challenges within this industry." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical referencesISBN: 9780956632906Donation: donated by Senses of Cinema, 2014Contents: Introduction / Gabrielle Kelly and Cheryl Robson --

Exploring the Barriers and Opportunities for Independent Women Filmmakers / research by Stacy L. Smith, Katherine Pieper, Marc Choueiti University of Southern California, 2013.

Studies have been conducted in the past on women in the mainstream U.S film industry, but little research has yet been done in the U.S independent film arena. To this end, we developed a research strategy with a two-prong approach.
First, we quantitatively document the involvement of female content creators of U.S films at the Sundance Film Festival, assessing the gender of 11,197 directors, writers, producers, cinematographers, and editors across 820 films classified as U.S narratives (534 films) or documentaries (286 films) between 2002 and 2012.
The second prong documents the qualitative experiences of female filmmakers through interviews with emerging and seasoned content creators as well as key industry gate-keepers. Here, we surveyed 51 individuals to unpack the specific obstacles that face female directors and producers in the independent film arena. We also assessed participants' perceptions of opportunities that may increase women's involvement behind the camera" -- taken from the Executive SummaryNotes: This research was commissioned by the Sundance Insitute and Women in Film Los Angeles thorugh their 'Women Filmmakers Initiative'.Contents: -- pages 3-4: case statement: Independent Women Filmmakers: setting the agenda for change -- page 5: allied organizations list -- page 7: 2012-2013 mentorship program participants -- pages 9-11: research study executive summary -- pages 13-33: research study: exploring the barriers and opportunities for independent women filmmakers -- page 34: acknowledgments -- pages 35-43: works cited and notes --

More amazing, all were critical and/or box office successes. What accounts for this explosion of interest? Much of the appeal of these films lies in our nostalgic desire at the end of the millenium for an age of greater politeness and sexual reticence. Austen's ridicule of deceit and pretentiousness also appeals to our fin de siècle sensibilities. The novels were changed, however, to enhance their appeal to a wide popular audience, and the revisions reveal much about our own culture and its values. These recent productions espouse explicitly twentieth-century feminist notions and reshape the Austenian hero to make him conform to modern expectations. Linda Troost and Sayre Greenfield present fourteen essays examining the phenomenon of Jane Austen as cultural icon, providing thoughtful and sympathetic insights on the films through a variety of critical approaches. The contributors debate whether these productions enhance or undercut the subtle feminism that Austen promoted in her novels." - BOOK JACKETNotes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 186-187) and indexISBN: 0813120845 (alk. paper)LON: 13891695Contents: Introduction: watching ourselves watching / Linda Troost and Sayre Greenfield -- Out of the drawing room, onto the lawn / Rachel M.

His theory was at every point elaborated in direct, vigorous relation with practice; his doctrine of kino-eye, breaking with film's subjection to traditional narrative purposes, was a passionate call to action. Vertov's spirit of revolutionary optimism leaps from his pages. Articles, memoranda, speeches, letters, proposals for films, poured from his pen - explaining, defining, persuading. In voluminous notebooks and diaries he proposed a cinema implicated in the process of revolutionary transformation, one that would play a leading role in the construction of socialism." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes index; Filmography: p.

I AND VOL. II] (DK/G/BE/UK/FR, Lars von Trier, 2013) Summary: "The Danish director Lars von Trier is undoubtedly one of the world's most important and controversial filmmakers, and arguably so because of the depiction of women in his films. He has been criticized for subjecting his female characters to unacceptable levels of violence or reducing them to masochistic self-abnegation (Bess in Breaking the Waves, "She" in Antichrist and Joe in Nymphomaniac). At other times, it is the women in his films who are dominant or break out in violence, such as in his adaptation of Euripides' Medea, the conclusion of Dogville and perhaps throughout Nymphomaniac. Lars von Trier's Women confronts these dichotomies head on. Editors Rex Butler and David Denny do not take a position either for or against von Trier, but rather considers how both attitudes fall short of the real difficulty of his films, which may simply not conform to any kind of feminist or indeed anti-feminist politics as they are currently configured. Using Lacanian psychoanalysis and the work of prior scholars on the films, Lars von Trier's Women reveals hidden resources for a renewed "feminist" politics and social practice.

JAPAN ; WOMEN AND THE CINEMA ; CRITICISM Summary: Mizoguchi and Japan is the first full-length study for over twenty years of a director hailed by Cahiers du Cinema recently as "the greatest of all cineastes". On the surface such a claim might be considered controversial since, for a majority of Western cinema-goers, the names more usually associated with classic Japanese cinema are those of Kurosawa and Ozu. Mark Le Fanu's admiration for Kurosawa and Ozu is second to none, but here, in his long-awaited new study, he makes the case for placing Mizoguchi at the very pinnacle of Japanese film achievement.[Taken from back cover].ISBN: 1844570576ID2: 291

TaurisPubDate: 2016PhysDes: xii,260 : illustrated ; 23 cmSubject: FEMINISM AND THE CINEMA ; FEMININITY IN FILMS ; WOMEN AND THE CINEMA ; BELLE (UK, Amma Asante, 2013) ; FROZEN (US, Chris Buck & Jennifer Lee, 2013) ; BIGELOW, KATHRYN ; CAMPION, JANE ; VARDA, AGNES ; PERSEPOLIS (FR, Marjane Satrapi, 2007) Summary: Feminist filmmakers are hitting the headlines. The last decade has witnessed: the first Best Director Academy Award won by a woman; female filmmakers reviving, or starting, careers via analogue and digital television; women filmmakers emerging from Saudi Arabia, Palestine, Pakistan, South Korea, Paraguay, Peru, Burkina Faso, Kenya and The Cree Nation; a bold emergent trans cinema; feminist porn screened at public festivals; Sweden's A-Markt for films that pass the Bechdel Test; and Pussy Riot's online videos sending shockwaves around the world. A new generation of feminist filmmakers, curators and critics is not only influencing contemporary debates on gender and sexuality, but starting to change cinema itself, calling for a film world that is intersectional, sustainable, family-friendly and far-reaching. Political Animals argues that, forty years since Laura Mulvey's seminal essay 'Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema' identified the urgent need for a feminist counter-cinema, this promise seems to be on the point of fulfilment.
Forty years of a transnational, trans-generational cinema has given rise to conversations between the work of now well-established filmmakers such as Abigail Child, Sally Potter and Agnes Varda, twenty-first century auteurs including Kelly Reichardt and Lucretia Martel, and emerging directors such as Sandrine Bonnaire, Shonali Bose, Zeina Daccache, and Hana Makhmalbaf. A new and diverse generation of British independent filmmakers such as Franny Armstrong, Andrea Arnold, Amma Asante, Clio Barnard, Tina Gharavi, Sally El Hoseini, Carol Morley, Samantha Morton, Penny Woolcock, and Campbell X join a worldwide dialogue between filmmakers and viewers hungry for a new and informed point of view. Lovely, vigorous and brave, the new feminist cinema is a political animal that refuses to be domesticated by the persistence of everyday sexism, striking out boldly to claim the public sphere as its own. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781784533724

Sleeping with strangers : how the movies shaped desire / David Thomson New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2019.
Call No: 747.6(73) THOAuthor: Thomson, David Edition: FirstPlace: New YorkPublisher: Alfred A. KnopfPubDate: 2019PhysDes: 352 pages : illustrated ; 24cmSubject: SEX IN FILMS. USA ; HOMOSEXUALITY IN FILMS. USA ; MEN AND THE CINEMA ; WOMEN AND THE CINEMA ; NUDITY IN FILMS ; STARS. USA ; FASHION AND THE CINEMA ; PORNOGRAPHY AND THE CINEMA Summary: In this wholly original work of film criticism, David Thomson, celebrated author of The Biographical Dictionary of Film, probes the many ways in which sexuality has shaped the movies—and the ways in which the movies have shaped sexuality. Exploring the tangled notions of masculinity, femininity, beauty, and sex that characterize our cinematic imagination—and drawing on examples that range from advertising to pornography, Bonnie and Clyde to Call Me by Your Name—Thomson illuminates how film as art, entertainment, and business has historically been a polite cover for a kind of erotic séance. In so doing, he casts the art and the artists we love in a new light, and reveals how film can both expose the fault lines in conventional masculinity and point the way past it, toward a more nuanced understanding of what it means to be a person with desires. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781101946992

But such an easy caricature, as this engaging and accessible survey of Coppola's oeuvre demonstrates, fundamentally misconstrues what are rich, ambiguous, meaningful films. Drawing on insights from feminist philosophy and psychology, the author here takes an original approach to Coppola, exploring vital themes from the subversion of patriarchy in The Virgin Suicides to the "female gothic" in The Beguiled. As Rogers shows, far from endorsing a facile and depoliticized postfeminism, Coppola's films instead deploy beguilement, mood, and pleasure in the service of a robustly feminist philosophy." - taken from back cover.ISBN: 9781785339752Contents: Introduction : the surface of the image is political -- Part I.

The emergence of a globalized network of film festivals has enabled these young directors to make and circulate films that are changing the aesthetics and politics of art house cinema and challenging feminist genealogies. Extending formal analysis to the production and reception contexts of a variety of feature films, White explores how women filmmakers are both implicated in and critique gendered concepts of authorship, taste, genre, national identity, and human rights. Women's Cinema, World Cinema revitalizes feminist film studies as it argues for an alternative vision of global media culture." -- BACK COVER BOOK BLURBNotes: Formerly CIP; Also issued online; Includes filmography; Includes bibliographical references (pages 235-246) and indexISBN: 9780822358053Contents: -- acknowledgments -- introduction -- To each her own cinema : world cinema and the woman cineaste : Jane Campion's Cannes connections; Lucrecia Martel's vertiginous authorship; Samira Makhmalbaf's sororal cinema -- Framing feminisms : women's cinema as art cinema : Deepa Mehta's elemental feminism; Iranian diasporan women directors and cultural capital -- Feminist film in the age of the chick flick : global flows of women's cinema : engendering new Korean cinema in Jeong Jae-eun's Take care of my cat; Nadine Labaki's celebrity -- Network narratives : Asian women directors two-timing the system in Nia Dinata's Love for share -- Zero Chou and the spaces of Chinese lesbian film -- Is the whole world watching?
