WMGST-379 Transnational Feminist Frames--Methods
This course looks at the work of (women) filmmakers with South Asian and Iranian ties to ask how contemporary visual culture figures gender and sexuality. It spans national and regional borders to examine contextual and formal challenges artists navigate as they probe the complexity of gendered lives. Amanpour (A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night, 2014), Chadha (Bend It Like Beckham, 2002), Makhmalbaf (Blackboards, 2009), and Sumar (Silent Waters, 2003), and others. How do notions of gender, sexuality, and nation shape film form? How might form be used to think anew about such social structures?
