It does not shy away from questioning the relations of power in the practice of filmmaking and the power invested in the gaze itself. Who is looking and who is being looked at, who is telling women's stories in Africa and what governs the mechanics of making those films on the continent? The interviews with film practitioners such as Tsitsi Dangarembga, Taghreed Elsanhouri, Jihan El-Tahri, Anita Khanna, Isabel Noronhe, Arya Lalloo and Shannon Walsh demonstrate the contradictory points of departure of women in film - from their understanding of feminisms in relation to lived-experiences and the realpolitik of women working as cultural practitioners. The disciplines of gender studies, postcolonial theory, and film theory provide the framework for the book's essays. Jyoti Mistry, Antje Schuhmann, Nobunye Levin, Dorothee Wenner and Christina von Braun are some of the contributors who provide valuable context, analysis and insight into, among other things, the politics of representation, the role of film festivals and the collective and individual experiences of trauma and marginality which contribute to the layered and complex filmic responses of Africa's film practitioners. 606 $aWomen in motion pictures 606 $aMotion picture industry$xSocial aspects$zAfrica 606 $aFeminism$zAfrica 606 $aMotion pictures, African 606 $aMotion pictures$xSocial aspects$zAfrica 606 $aMarginality, Social, in motion pictures 615 0$aWomen in motion pictures. 615 0$aMotion picture industry$xSocial aspects 615 0$aFeminism 615 0$aMotion pictures, African. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xSocial aspects 615 0$aMarginality, Social, in motion pictures. 676 $a791.436522 702 $aMistry$b Jyoti 702 $aSchuhmann$b Antje 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910168749903321 996 $aGaze Regimes$92021004 997 $aUNINA
