Gendered Frames, Embodied Cameras: Varda, Akerman, Cabrera, Calle,
and Maiwenn is the first book to link these five filmmakers
together through an analysis of the relationship between filming
one's own body and the creative body. Through engaged artistic
practices, these female filmmakers turn the camera to their bodies
as a way to show the process of artistic creation and to produce
themselves as filmmakers and artists in their work from 1987-2009.
By making visible their bodies, they offer a wider range of
representation of women in French film. Through avant-garde form,
in which tangible corporeal elements are made image, they transform
representational content and produce new cinematic bodies with the
power to influence signifying practices in contemporary French
culture. By rendering visible their artistic practice and praxis
and their camera in their work-reflexive practices that also unite
these filmmakers-these women also visually claim the role of
filmmaker and creative subject. Thus they establish their authority
in a film industry in which women's participation and recognition
of their achievements have historically been lower than that of
their male counterparts.
