- Description
- The author explores issues of space, place, time and gender in feminist filmmaking through an examination of films released from 1936 to 2014 by women filmmakers. Beginning from questions about space itself and the way it has been gendered, she asks how representation functions in relation to space and time, and how this, too, is gendered, before moving to an exploration of how such questions might be considered in relation to women's filmmaking. She analyses how these issues have been dealt with by women filmmakers in wilderness, city, interior and border spaces, and in doubled spaces, or the landscapes of adaptation.
