Abstract

The first scholarly work to focus on the work of American director and producer, Susan SeidelmanContains an exclusive chapter-length interview in which Seidelman examines her career and discusses many of her lesser-known films, some for the first timeSuggests a reframing of authorship theory to be more inclusive of especially women directors who work in both film and televisionExamines Seidelman’s shifts from independents to Hollywood studio movies to television and made-for-TV movies in relationship to changes in the industryProvides cultural context for Seidelman’s films, including representations of gender, race and disabilityIncludes genre analysis to illustrate how Seidelman twists genres for feminist stories and readingsAssesses Seidelman’s critical reputation, including instances of mismatch between critical and audience receptionThis first collection devoted to Susan Seidelman — director, producer and visionary of feminist American cinema and television – includes never-before-published archival material and an interview with insights into her process and thoughts on #timesup and the future of the industry. Her debut feature, Smithereens, was the first American independent film to compete for the Palme d’Or at Cannes.Her knack for casting saw her insist on Madonna for Desperately Seeking Susan before Madonna was famous. Seidelman directed Meryl Streep and John Malkovich in their first comedy features, Roseanne Barr in her first feature film and Laverne Cox in one of her earliest features. Seidelman also directed the Sex and the City pilot, kickstarting a global phenomenon.Seidelman’s career is one of firsts, yet little is written about her. This collection begins filling that gap while opening the door for additional scholarship, making this a valuable text for years to come.

Abstract

'Een branding van beelden' is de neerslag van een aantal gesprekken met vrouwleijke filmregisseurs. Aan bod komen onder andere: Agnès Varda. Chantal Akerman, Mira Nair, Margerethe Von Trotta, Marion Hänsel, Sally Potter en Marguerite Duras. Met deze, en nog een vijftiental andere regisseurs, wordt stilgestaan bij een aantal films die ze maakten, bij de thema's die ze in hun films behandelden en bij het leven als vrouwelijke filmregisseur. De interviewsters besluiten dat er in ieder geval een verband bestaat tussen de verschillende regisseurs, namelijk hun gerichtheid op wat mensen bindt: liefde en intimiteit.
