Position Summary:

This course examines the work of women directors from the silent to the contemporary era, from a variety of film production contexts around the world, in the light of feminist approaches to questions about gender, representation, and authorship. Along the way, we will consider the extent to which formal and stylistic features may be said to characterize films directed by women; the ways in which films by women directors are shaped by historical, cultural, and industrial factors; different approaches to filmmaking within and outside the mainstream film industry; and the role of feminist film theory in critical studies of films by women. Assigned films may include work by Alice Guy Blaché, Dorothy Arzner, Jane Campion, Claire Denis, Sophie Deraspe, Maya Deren, Ava DuVernay, Joanna Hogg, Ida Lupino, Lucrecia Martel, Léa Pool, Solly Potter, Céline Sciamma, Agnes Varda, Lois Weber, and Chloé Zhao. Note: screenings are run outside of class time.
