This book examines the career of Germaine Dulac, a pioneering French filmmaker and feminist whose perspective, innovations and ardent promotion of cinema are documented in her theoretical writings. -- .
One of the few women pioneers of cinema and a committed feminist, Germaine Dulac strongly believed that the public had a role to play in shaping the history of cinema and the kinds of films that filmmakers could make. This book draws on a wealth of archival material - both films and writing - to study Dulac''s ''behind the scenes'' work on filmmaking and her social/political activism in the field of cinema. The biographical and historical introduction contextualises Dulac''s situation at the heart of the avant-garde. Three chapters organise her films and career around the kinds of cinema that she promoted: ''psychological'', ''pure'' and ''documentary''. The conclusion contrasts Dulac''s contributions with those of Alice Guy Blaché, another early woman film pioneer, highlighting their differing paths to recognition.
