Quart here extends her previous writings on what she terms the
best narrative cinema: women-centered cinema' and feminist
filmmaking. Quart addresses American, Western European, and Eastern
European directors, closing with Third World examples. Arguing that
independent filmmaking best serves the quest for a woman's voice
and vision, Quart chronicles the survival of women directors. She
traces a heritage of women directors inside the Hollywood system
and beyond. . . . This excellent study . . . is] recommended for
undergraduates in film and women's studies. "Choice"
The current level of activity among women directors is
unequalled in the history of feature films. This unprecedented
study examines major contemporary women directors of narrative
feature film--their themes, their art, and the circumstances under
which they work. Quart contends that women are creating a film
language and film sensibility that are unique, strong, and--until
now--unexplored. Her discussion centers on the ties between women
directors, rather than on a survey of women who direct films.
Beginning with the antecedents to today's burgeoning number of
women directors, the study progresses to American women directors.
Subsequent chapters focus on womenn directors in Western Europe and
Eastern Europe, with some attention as well to Asia and Latin
America.
