9780851701554: Films for Women

Synopsis

This stimulating collection of articles traces the important shifts in the debates about women and film since the late 1960s. It looks at the representation of women in the cinema; at films by women; and above all at films for women and for the different types of audience that have emerged in recent years. Hollywood has increasingly addressed specific audiences and has located the commercial potential of a new female consumer, but meanwhile the women's movement itself has started to produce its own films, offering radically different representations of women. Various groups of feminists, with diverse concerns and aims, are now mobilising as film-makers, distributors and exhibitors, giving a new meaning to the notion of films for women.
