Women & Experimental Cinema

Course #: CINE 318L, Class #: 9852, Section #: 01

Description

Focused on experimental moving images, this course addresses the ways in which some female film artists, lacking support for or interest in commercial and mainstream modes of production, distribution and exhibition, have turned instead to alternative networks. Whether in fully experimental mode, through the larger art world, or through alternative narrative filmmaking, such filmmakers engage a unique perspective - often in dialogue with feminist movements from the suffragists to 1970s feminist film theorists to more recent movements like #TimesUp.
