Description

Documentary and feminist film studies have long been separate disciplines that need to intersect. This collection of essays by prominent scholars and filmmakers explores the challenges that feminist perspectives pose for documentary theory, history, and practice. The volume begins with a substantial historical introduction that highlights several key areas of debate, including realism, the relationship between filmmaker and subject, and the use of psychoanalysis. The essays that follow offer a range of perspectives on documentary film, from broad overviews to close analyses of particular films and videos. A comprehensive filmography and videography are also included, making this book an essential resource for anyone working in or interested in documentary studies. By bringing together feminist theory and documentary practice, this collection sheds new light on the relationship between gender, sexuality, race, class, and nation in visual media.
