Italian cinema experienced its peak of domestic and international popularity in the years between the economic miracle of the late 1950s and the social and political turmoil of the 1970s. But how did the growing development of the feminist movement in this period impact on Italian film culture? And what role did that film culture play in womens lives?
This book explores the multiple intersections between feminism and Italian cinema from the perspective of womens everyday relationship with the medium. Drawing from a feminist approach to Gramscian cultural theory, the book builds an archival counter-history of Italian cinema in which women took part as movie-goers, activists and practitioners, by means of a collective-historical agency that challenged cinemas patriarchal structures and strategies of invisibilisation.
