The Cinema Of Cecilia Bartolomé - Feminism And Francoism

by Sally Faulkner

~~35,49€~~ 31,94€ 10% OFF

 <p>Were it not for authoritarian state censorship, Cecilia Bartolomé’s name would figure alongside those of her contemporaries Agnès Varda and Claire Denis as a pioneering feminist filmmaker of the twentieth century. With this bold claim, this book seeks both to write the history of Bartolomé’s extant filmography, and speculate about censored and un-filmed work, thereby fashioning a new way of writing a feminist creative life in film.<br>The first volume on this director to be written in English, <i>The Cinema of Cecilia Bartolomé </i>is also the first volume on the director published in any language for over twenty years. By focusing on Spanish-language cinema of the 1960s-90s, the period when feminism, like democracy, was re-born and seemingly consolidated in Spain, the study brings historical depth and transnational reach to current debates in the wake of #MeToo.</p>
