Gendered Frames, Embodied Cameras. Varda, Akerman, Cabrera, Calle, and Maiwenn, Paperback

Using the framework of self-representation, this book rethinks problems of representation of the female body in French cinema and contemporary French culture. By filming themselves, these filmmakers visually claim their roles, establish their authority in the field, and expose new ways to configure representation, gender, and cinema.
