French-speaking Women Film Directors: A GuideThe filmmakers are from all parts of the world: France, Belgium, Switzerland, Latin America, Quebec - even Iceland. (The section dealing with Belgium has been verified and augmented by Professor Philip Mosley.) Users of this guide will therefore be able to set up a truly global program on the subject. Moreover, the book offers a section on "core concepts," so that it would be possible to design a course or a program on a theme of interest to feminists, drawing from world cinema by both women and men directors. These core concepts and themes include such subjects as abortion, pornography, prostitution, and mother-daughter relationships. An index of film directors and the titles of their films, as well as of geographical subdivisions, maximizes the directory's usefulness. |
