A Feminist Counter-History of Latin American Documentary provides a new lens through which to revisit the history of Latin American cinema and proposes three approximations to the study of women’s documentary produced between the early 1970s and the mid-1990s.
With a focus on documentaries with clear political intents, this book illustrates some of the thematic interests, authorial modes, production practices, formal devices, and aesthetic strategies employed by women filmmakers. Through analysis of the contexts, processes, and forms of a selection of films, the author shows how these non-fiction films shed light on the precarious conditions that characterised women’s greater entry into the workforce, on the circulation of feminist ideas, and on the inevitable questioning of identity that resulted from migration and displacement.
This volume will appeal to scholars and students interested in women’s and feminist cinema, documentary history, theory, and practice, and Latin American history and culture.
