Through her Eyes: Women and the Documentary Tradition
CTMP3304.03F
This course will explore the rarely-examined historical and contemporary involvement of women in the field of documentary filmmaking.
DESCRIPTION
Women documentary makers have produced extensive bodies of engaging work that challenge many societal assumptions about gender, class, race, the function of political power, sexuality and peace-war. They have worked at every level within the process: as directors, cinematographers, editors, sound recordists, producers,
writers and fund-raisers. A variety of documentaries made by women from diverse backgrounds will be screened and analyzed along with a close reading of selected critical texts. Students will identify the similarities and differences in subjects, themes, style, aesthetics, and approaches to creation, production and distribution.
