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 jacket ISBN: 9781629333878 More info

AUSTRALIA Summary: "Ana Kokkinos is an Australian screenwriter, producer and director who has worked in film and television for almost thirty years. Best known for her fictional films - Antamosi, Only the Brave, Head On, The Book of Revelation and Blessed - her work is often bold and confrontational in its exploration of the alienation, estrangement and visceral distresses of those outside the mainstream. In the first major study of the director, Ana Kokkinos: An Oeuvre of Outsiders offers new readings of and across her fictional oeuvre by broadly tracing the deployment of the outsider as an organising motif." - taken from back cover.

In doing so, it explores an array of often hidden ways women in Australia have creatively worked with film. Beyond the Silver Screen examines film in a broad sense, considering feature filmmaking alongside government documentaries and political films. It also focuses on women's work regulating films and supporting film culture through organising film societies and workshops to encourage female filmmakers. As such, it tells a new narrative of Australian film history. Beyond the Silver Screen reveals the variety of roles film has in Australian society. It presents film as a medium of creative and political expression, which women have engaged with in diverse ways throughout the twentieth century. Gender roles and gendered ideologies operating within society at large have influenced women's opportunities to work with film and how their filmwork is… -- publisher's web site ISBN: 9780522871227 More info

Emotion shapes how political issues and individuals are represented and perceived in documentary and it is crucial to how we engage with the vicissitudes of the public sphere. In the past documentary has been popularly perceived in ways that align it with education, science, history and the rational realm. This frame has never been adequate for understanding the broad array of styles and themes that can be seen in the documentary genre. Focusing on the question of subjectivity, Smail analyses various different kinds of individuals that can be found in documentaries, such as the female porn star, the politically disenfranchised, children, and the documentary auteur. She envisages an interdisciplinary approach to documentary drawing on scholarship from not only film studies, but also gender studies, queer theory, cultural theories of affect, critical race studies, political theory and pyschoanalysis.

book		Exploring the Barriers and Opportunities for Independent Women Filmmakers / research by Stacy L. Smith, Katherine Pieper, Marc Choueiti University of Southern California, 2013. Call No: 451-02 SMI Author: Pieper, Katherine; Choueiti, Marc; Smith, Stacy L. Source: US Publisher: University of Southern California PubDate: 2013 PhysDes: 43p. : ill. ; 30cm Subject: WOMEN FILM WORKERS; WOMEN FILMMAKERS; WOMEN AND THE CINEMA; WOMEN DIRECTORS; WOMEN, FILMS MADE BY Summary: "The purpose of this research is to examine how females are faring in American independent film. 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 Summary Notes: This research was commissioned by the Sundance Insitute and Women in Film Los Angeles thorugh their 'Women Filmmakers Initiative'.

She is reputed to have danced nude for the Fuhrer. She is linked to Goebbels, Striecher, Borman, and other evil luminaries of the Nazi party. After the war, she was investigated by the Nuremburg Commission, and found innocent; she had never been a Party member. Yet Leni's cinema helped to create the myth of Nazi supremacy; her sense of drama and destiny, her imagery, mesmerized Germany during Hitler's climb to power. Was she responsible? Was she conscious of the political meaning of her work? Or was she a naive opportunist, an incomparable technician, exploiting the chance of a lifetime? Was she Hitler's mistress, as has been alleged? Or was she just a free spirit, the pagan sensualist of her own films? These are only some of the intriguing questions Glenn B. Infield explores in Leni Riefenstahl: The Fallen Film Goddess." -- BOOK BLURB Notes: Includes index; Bibliography: p. 262-267 ISBN: 0690011679 LON: 76007084; 760131 More info

Call No: 626:396 WHI Author: White, Patricia Source: UK Place: Durham; London Publisher: Duke University Press PubDate: c2015 PhysDes: ix, 270 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm Subject: WOMEN DIRECTORS; WOMEN FILM WORKERS; WOMEN FILMMAKERS; WOMEN IN FILMS; WOMEN, FILMS MADE BY; FEMINISM AND THE CINEMA; WOMEN AND THE CINEMA Summary: "In Women's Cienma, World Cinema the author explores the dynamic intersection of feminism and film in the twenty-first century by highlighting the work of a new generation of women directors from around the world: Samira and Hana Makhmalbaf, Nadine Labaki, Zero Chou, Jasmila Zbanic, and Claudia Llosa, among others. 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 BLURB Notes: Formerly CIP; Also issued online; Includes filmography; Includes bibliographical references (pages 235-246) and index ISBN: 9780822358053 Contents: -- 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?
