This course focuses on women directors around the world and the contributions they have made to film (and video). Students will be introduced to the historical and economic context of film production, as well as to a formalist film vocabulary. They will explore readings in feminist scholarship and analyze women-authored cinema-- narrative, experimental, and documentary-- in the context of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class, and nationality. Films will span the silent period to the present. Weekly campus screenings are required, and clips of films are used in class for close analysis of aural and visual elements.
