Woman-Centered Brazilian Cinema
Woman-Centered Brazilian Cinema highlights the bold, inspiring, and diverse work of female filmmakers—including directors, screenwriters, and producers—and female protagonists in the twenty-first-century Brazilian film industry. This volume examines the diverse production and distribution spaces these filmmakers are working in, including documentary, experimental, and short filmmaking, as well as commercial feature films. An intersectional approach runs throughout the chapters with complex considerations around gender, race, sexuality, and class. The book features a mix of research methods and genres, with macro-level political, economic, and industry-wide views of gender disparities appearing alongside in-depth conversations with contemporary filmmakers Maria Augusta Ramos, Petra Costa, Mari Corrêa, and Paula Sacchetta, focused on micro-level personal experiences. In bringing together original essays and interviews, the volume provides valuable information for students of Brazil in general and of Brazilian film in particular.
Radical Equalities and Global Feminist Filmmaking - An Anthology
"Radical Equalities and Global Feminist Filmmaking - An Anthology"’s main objective is to exhibit and unveil the fruit of the growing movement of feminist filmmakers around the world through interviews with current filmmakers themselves and through critical analysis of the works of these filmmakers. Every filmmaker we examine tells their own story about radical equality from a place that they have lived, are drawing from, or have imagined. The common theme in all of the films of our selected filmmakers is the obligation they feel towards the oppressed and the resulting ethics of interdependence their films exhibit. Some films give voice to those who are suffering in the shadows, or have be...
Latin American Documentary Film in the New Millennium
Nearly two decades into the new millennium, Latin American documentary film is experiencing renewed vibrancy and visibility on the global stage. While elements of the combative, politicized cinema of the 1960s and 1970s remain, the region’s production has become increasingly subjective, reflexive, and experimental, though perhaps no less political. At the same time, Latin American filmmakers both respond to and shape global tendencies in the genre. This book highlights the richness and heterogeneity of Latin American documentary film, surveys a broad range of national contexts, styles, and practices, and expands current debates on the genre. Thematic sections address the “subjective turn” of the 1990s and 2000s and the move beyond it; the ethics of the encounter between the filmmaker and the subject/object of his or her gaze; and the performance of truth and memory, a particularly urgent topic as Latin American countries have transitioned from dictatorship to democracy.
Feminista, eu?
Neste ensaio inédito, baseado em larga pesquisa e em uma série de entrevistas, Heloisa Buarque de Hollanda analisa o papel das mulheres em campos chave da cultura brasileira, como a literatura, o cinema novo e a MPB, entre os anos 1950 e 1980, evidenciando atuações pioneiras de artistas que fizeram o feminismo avançar, mesmo sem, muitas vezes, se dar conta dessa fundamental atuação. Afinal, é comum que a militância feminista seja vista separada da força política da produção cultural das mulheres. Nessa recuperação histórica acompanhada de uma afiada análise crítica, Heloisa – que tem, ela mesma, um papel de destaque na construção de repertórios para as lutas feministas – traz à luz esse elenco de mulheres que impuseram a presença feminina e as pautas feministas na cena artística e mudaram definitivamente a cultura do país. São nomes como Elis Regina, Leci Brandão, Rita Lee e Joyce Moreno; Carmen da Silva, Carolina Maria de Jesus, Ana Cristina Cesar, Marina Colasanti e Marilene Felinto; Adélia Sampaio, Helena Solberg, Vera Figueiredo, Eunice Gutman e muitas outras que têm seu pioneirismo analisado com o olhar afiado e o texto saboroso de Heloisa.
"Eu acho que eu existo, então por que eu não me vejo?"
"As mulheres detêm a metade do céu". Com esse provérbio chinês, os revolucionários asiáticos explicitavam a crença em não ser possível qualquer emancipação social sem a participação das mulheres em suas lutas. Bom seria que essa igualdade, que surge de forma tão transparente e descomplicada nessas poucas palavras, pudesse ser vivenciada na complexa experiência do ser mulher. Este livro tem por objetivo promover análises e reflexões acerca da dominação masculina na indústria cinematográfica. Entendendo-se o cinema, como forma de linguagem que é, como um instrumento poderoso de construção da realidade social – e não apenas de sua representação –, pretendeu-se verificar de que maneira a sub-representação feminina na produção fílmica acaba por contribuir para a perpetuação do habitus patriarcal, na medida em que transfere aos homens o verdadeiro domínio sobre o pensar, o agir e o sentir femininos. Afinal, se as mulheres existem, por que elas não se veem?
Socio-Environmental Crisis in Women’s Novels and Films in The Americas
The climate crisis has reached a critical point, necessitating urgent global action. Women’s activism against environmental dispossession in the Americas manifests not only in protests and classrooms but also through artistic filmmaking and writing. This book focuses on the overlooked contributions of women filmmakers and novelists, highlighting how their work reveals the connections between environmental dispossession and various injustices related to gender, ethnicity, age, class, and labor. It demonstrates that contemporary women in the Americas engage deeply with ecological issues, analyzing their representations and identifying common principles across texts. Using an interdisciplinary approach from environmental humanities, gender and Indigenous studies, and film and literary studies, the author compares works from Canada and Latin America. Three poetics emerge: environmental destruction critiques harmful development; care expands notions of reciprocity beyond the human; and insurgency showcases struggles against extractivist models. These works invite readers to understand the complex interconnections of environmental justice within society.
Remapping Brazilian Film Culture in the Twenty-First Century
Remapping Brazilian Film Culture makes a significant contribution not only to debates about Brazilian national cinema, but more generally about the development of world cinema in the twenty-first century. This book charts the key features of Brazilian film culture of the first two decades of the twenty-first century, including: the latest cultural debates within Brazil on film funding and distribution practices; the impact of diversity politics on the Brazilian film industry; the reception and circulation of Brazilian films on the international film festival circuit; and the impact on cultural production of the sharp change in political direction at national level experienced post-2016.

Women's Cinema in Contemporary Portugal
Women's Cinema in Contemporary Portugal brings together scholars from Portugal, UK and the USA, to discuss 14 women film directors in Portugal, focussing on their production in both feature film and documentary genres over the last half-century. It charts the specific cinematic visions that these women have brought to the re-emergence of Portuguese national cinema in the wake of the 1974 Revolution and African decolonisation, and to the growing internationalisation of Portugal's arguably 'minor' or 'small nation' cinema, with significant young women directors such as Leonor Teles achieving prominence abroad. The history of Portuguese women's cinema only begins systematically after the 1974 r...
