Beskrivning

It would be difficult to overestimate the importance, originality, and success of current Polish female directors, whose bold, vivid features have taken the film industry by storm. Film’s Feisty Femmes spotlights nine of the most productive, internationally acclaimed women in a profession traditionally dominated by men but characterized in 21st-century Poland by receptivity to creative talent regardless of gender. With the transition to a market economy, institutional innovations appreciably transformed the country’s filmmaking—a transformation of which audiences are the primary beneficiaries.The volume’s seven chapters combine textual analysis with assessment of camerawork, situating each director’s major works in a cultural context that includes significant developments in Poland as well as international trends in cinema and gender politics. A major issue addressed throughout entails the directors’ relationship to feminism in narratives that are unapologetically gynocentric.

Recensioner i media

“Scholars have been noting for some time the growing number of female auteurs in the Polish production space. Helena Goscilo and Vincent Albarano now treat us to an account of their distinctive styles, thematic approaches, and industry strategies. They make an excellent team: as a leading expert on both Polish cinema and women's creative practices in Eastern Europe more globally, Goscilo writes from a place of deep, embedded knowledge, while Albarano, a specialist of genre cinema, contributes sparkling close readings of individual works. The result is a meticulously researched yet highly engaging take on one of the most important developments in Eastern European cinema today.” — Masha Shpolberg, Assistant Professor, Bard College
