Pioneering Feminist cinema in Latin America between the 1960s and 1980s

Abstract:

From the 1960s, Latin American feminists started to make movies, individually or through collectives. The bibliography pioneering Feminist cinema in Latin America tended to focus on countries and female filmmakers, but it is equally important to look at such filmography from a subcontinental perspective and to give prominence to collectives. For this reason, we present in this text a partial overview of Latin American feminist cinema between the 1960s and 1980s, composed of works by the collectives Cine Mujer of Mexico, Cine Mujer of Colombia and Grupo Feminista Miércoles, and by filmmakers Helena Solberg, Kitico Moreno, María Luisa Bemberg and Sara Gómez.
