Women Make Movies: Histories of Women's Contributions to World Cinema
FILM 332
Spring 2024
Section: 01  

This course is not only about the cinema BY women but also work of women IN cinema. The course will engage critically with a variety of roles that women perform--from directors, writers, actors, film editors, critics, producers, costume designers, cinematographers, singers, and more. Attending to global feminist historiography, it will foreground the ways in which women shape the content, style, and development of the movie business globally as they navigate social, political, cultural, and industrial contexts. Addressing film cultures from Asia, Latin America, Iran, Africa, Europe, and the US, the course will expand the western cine-feminist critical tradition and ask: How does an investigation of women's contributions at all levels of filmmaking change our conception of film history?

The course is open to all sophomores including non-film minors and non-film majors at Wesleyan. No previous experience in film is required.
