What does feminist filmmaking in the 21st century look like? This book assesses the influence of Western feminist theory on contemporary film and television - nearly fifty years after Claire Johnston and Laura Mulvey called for a feminist counter-cinema - highlighting the cross-fertilization between feminist film theory and practice.Is there a #Metoo genre? Have traditional Hollywood genres been reframed? How has intersectional feminist film theory been explored on screen? In essays spanning film and television in a broad range of genres from the US, the UK and India, contributors renew definitions of feminist filmmaking since second wave feminist film scholars first grappled with the image of women in film and the role of women in the film industry. Feminist Visions provides an insightful space for discussion of feminist film theory as applied to recent TV series such as Devious Maids (2013-2016), Unbelievable (2019), Greenleaf (2016-2020), I May Destroy You (2020) and Insecure (2016-2021) and films including Maid in Manhattan (2002), Night Moves (2014), Gone Girl (2014), I Care a Lot (2020) and The Discreet Charm of the Savarnas (2020).
