AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Womenvision is a book on moving image culture which identifies, analyses and explores the role, contribution, opportunities attitudes, problems and debates relevant to women working in Australian film, television and other moving image industries in Australia. The focus of the book is contemporary (although there is historical contextualization). It is edited by Lisa French who has co-written it with other filmmakers, academics and others whose writing is informed by diverse backgrounds, such as computer game design, acting, dance and festival administration.' (Publisher's blurb)
Notes
-
Contents indexed selectively.
This volume also contains a number of articles that have a strong socio-economic focus, and therefore fall outside AustLit's scope. These include articles on the number of women behind the camera in Australian television, the role of motherhood on women working behind the camera, and the difficulties faced by women cameramen.
The volume also contains articles on aspects of film-making that fall outside AustLit's focus on story-telling, including essays on choreography and on digital art.
