Research into and around womens participation in cinematic history has enjoyed dynamic growth over the past decade. A broadening of scope and interests encompasses not only different kinds of filmmaking--mainstream fiction; experimental; and documentary--but also practices--publicity; journalism; distribution and exhibition--seldom explored in the past. Cutting-edge and inclusive; Doing Womens Film History ventures into topics in the United States and Europe while also moving beyond to explore the influence of women on the cinemas of India; Chile; Turkey; Russia; and Australia. Contributors grapple with historiographic questions that cover film history from the pioneering era to the present day. Yet the writers also address the very mission of practicing scholarship. Essays explore essential issues like identifying womens participation in their cinema cultures; locating previously unconsidered sources of evidence; developing methodologies and analytical concepts to reveal the impact of gender on film production; distribution and reception; and reframing film history to accommodate new questions and approaches. Contributors include: Kay Armatage; Eylem Atakav; Karina Aveyard; Canan Balan; Ceacute;cile Chich; Monica DallAsta; Eliza Anna Delveroudi; Jane M. Gaines; Christine Gledhill; Julia Knight; Neepa Majumdar; Michele Leigh; Luke McKernan; Debashree Mukherjee; Giuliana Muscio; Katarzyna Paszkiewicz; Rashmi Sawhney; Elizabeth Ramirez Soto; Sarah Street; and Kimberly Tomadjoglou.
