Abstract

En 1895, à Lyon, les frères Lumière inventent le cinématographe. Moins d'un an plus tard, à Paris, Alice Guy, 23 ans, réalise La Fée aux choux pour Léon Gaumont. Première réalisatrice de l'histoire du cinéma, elle dirigera plus de 300 films en France. En 1907, elle part conquérir l'Amérique, laissant les Films Gaumont aux mains de son assistant Louis Feuillade. Première femme à créer sa propre maison de production, elle construit un studio dans le New Jersey et fait fortune. Mais un mariage malheureux lui fait tout perdre. Femme libre et indépendante, témoin de la naissance du monde moderne, elle aura côtoyé les pionniers de l'époque : Gustave Eiffel, Louis et Auguste Lumière, ou encore Georges Méliès, Charlie Chaplin et Buster Keaton. Elle meurt en 1969, avec la légion d'honneur, mais sans avoir revu aucun de ses films - perdus et oubliés. C'est en 2011, à New York, que Martin Scorsese redonne un coup de projecteur sur cette femme exceptionnelle.

Abstract

"Black women have long recognized the power of film for storytelling. For far too long, however, the cultural and historical narratives about film have not accounted for the contributions of Black women directors. This book remedies this omission by highlighting the trajectory of the culturally significant work of Black women directors in the U.S., from the under-examined pioneers of the silent era, to the documentarians who sought to highlight the voices and struggles of Black women, and the contemporary Black women directors in Hollywood. Applying a Black feminist perspective, this book examines the ways that Black women filmmakers have made a way for themselves and their work by resisting the dominant cultural expectations for Black women and for the medium of film, as a whole"--

Abstract

Examined within their economic, cultural, and political context, the work of women Maghrebi filmmakers forms a cohesive body of work. Florence Martin examines the intersections of nation and gender in seven films, showing how directors turn around the politics of the gaze as they play with the various meanings of the Arabic term hijab (veil, curtain, screen). Martin analyzes these films on their own theoretical terms, developing the notion of ""transvergence"" to examine how Maghrebi women's cinema is flexible, playful, and transgressive in its themes, aesthetics, narratives, and modes of a

Abstract

Offers intersectional, intergenerational, and international perspectives on nonfiction film- and video-making by and about women, examining practices that range from activist documentaries to avant-garde experiments. Concentrating primarily on the period between the 1970s and 1990s, the contributions revisit major figures, contexts, and debates across a polycentric, global geography. They explore how the moving image has been a crucial terrain of feminist struggle--a way of not only picturing the world but remaking it. The contributors consider key decolonial filmmakers, including Trinh T. Minh-ha and Sarah Maldoror; explore collectively produced films with ties to women's liberation movements in different countries; and investigate the cinematic expressions of tensions and alliances between feminism and anti-imperialist struggles. They grapple with the need for a broader more inclusive definition of the term “feminism”; meditate on the figure of the grandmother; reflect on realist aesthetics; and ask what a feminist film historiography might look like. The book, illustrated with film stills and other images, many in color, offers ten original texts, two conversations, and eight short essays composed in response to historical texts written by filmmakers. The historical texts, half of which are published in English for the first time, appear alongside the essays. --From publisher description.
