We define women and women cinema broadly and inclusively, examining works made by women filmmakers and for women spectators. This course will ask the following questions: Does women’s cinema display any stylistic or narrative consistencies? What, if anything, unites the work of women directors? Can men direct women’s cinema? What is women’s cinema relation to feminism? Does attention to women’s cinema need to focus on the director? How does an investigation of women’s cinema change our conception of film history? How does feminist film criticism help us to interpret films made by women? What are the ways historical, cultural, and industrial factors shape the work of women’s cinema?
