On Women’s Films [EPUB ebook] 
Across Worlds and Generations

On Women’s Films looks at contemporary and classic films from emerging and established makers such as Maria Augusta Ramos, Xiaolu Guo, Valerie Massadian, Lynne Ramsay, Lucrecia Martel, Rakhshan Bani-Etemad, Chantal Akerman, or Claire Denis. The collection is also tuned to the continued provocation of feminist cinema landmarks such as Chick Strand’s Soft Fiction; Barbara Loden’s Wanda; Valie Export’s Invisible Adversaries, Cecilia Mangini’s Essere donne. Attentive to minor moments, to the pauses and the charge and forms bodies adopt through cinema, the contributors suggest the capacity of women’s films to embrace, shape and question the world.
