Film Feminisms offers a global and updated overview of the history,
present-day concerns, and future of feminist film and theory. It
introduces frameworks from phenomenology, affect theory, and
psychoanalysis to reception studies, new media theories, and
critical historiography, as well as engaging with key issues in
documentary ethics, genre theory, and star studies. This new
textbook situates feminist film theory within the larger framework
of transnational scholarly approaches, as well as decolonial,
queer, disability studies, and critical race theories. It offers a
much-needed update on pedagogical approaches to feminist film
studies, providing discussions of filmmakers and films that have
been overlooked in the field, or that are overdue for further
analysis. Each chapter is supported by a variety of pedagogical
features including activities, key terms, and case studies. Many of
the activities draw on contemporary digital media, such as social
media and streaming platforms, to update the field to today's
changing media landscape.

Towards a Feminist Cinematic Ethics develops an account of
non-normative ethics that can be used to think about filmmaking and
viewing, using two philosopher - Emmanuel Levinas and Jean-Luc
Nancy, and the work of filmmaker Claire Denis. In an accessible and
engaging manner, it offers new readings of Denis' films, situating
them within larger feminist, postcolonial and queer debates about
identity and difference. Using a generative methodology, the book
works towards a mutually challenging and productive relationship
between cinematic ideas and philosophical concepts.
