Acting as a corrective to the skewed avant-grade history that
neglects women. "Women and Experimental Filmmaking gathers essays
by some of the top scholars in cinema studies dealing with women
experimental filmmakers. Tracking the topic across racial,
economic, geographic, and even temporal boundaries, Jean Petrolle
and Virginia Wexman's selections reflect the deep diversity of
methodologies and research. The introduction sets out by addressing
the basic difficulties of both historiography and definition before
providing a historical overview of how these particular filmmakers
have helped shape moviemaking traditions. The essays explore the
major theoretical controversies that have arisen around the work of
groundbreaking women such as Leslie Thornton, Su friedrich, Nina
Menkes, and Faith Hubley. With the film-makers representations of
women's subjectivity ranging across film, video, digital media,
ethnography, animation, and collage, "Women and Experimental
Filmmaking represents the full spectrum of genres, techniques, and
modes. Taken together, these essays compromise a sustained analysis
of the conjunction of aesthetics and polities in the work of both
pioneer and contemporary experimental women filmmakers.
