Girl Head shows how gender has had a surprising and persistent role
in film production processes, well before the image ever appears
onscreen. For decades, feminist film criticism has focused on
issues of representation: images of women in film. But what are the
feminist implications of the material object underlying that image,
the filmstrip itself? What does feminist analysis have to offer in
understanding the film image before it enters the realm of
representation? Girl Head explores how gender and sexual difference
have been deeply embedded within film materiality. In rich archival
and technical detail, Yue examines three sites of technical film
production: the film laboratory, editing practices, and the film
archive. Within each site, she locates a common motif, the
vanishing female body, which is transformed into material to be
used in the making of a film. The book develops a theory of gender
and film materiality through readings of narrative film, early
cinema, experimental film, and moving image art. This original work
of feminist media history shows how gender has had a persistent
role in film production processes, well before the image ever
appears onscreen.
