In what innovative ways are women documentary filmmakers seeking to prioritize and promote political awareness, alternative modes of allyship, and advocacy for those most marginalized by patriarchy and global capitalism?

Women and Global Documentary answers the urgent need to re-evaluate the significance of women’s documentary practices, their contributions to feminist world-building, and to the state of documentary studies as a whole. Bringing together a range of diverse practitioners and authors, the volume analyzes alternative and emergent networks of documentary production and collaboration within a global context. The chapters investigate filmmaking practices from regions such as East Africa, Latin America, South Asia, East Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa. They also examine decolonial practices in the Global North based on Indigenous filmmaking and feminist documentary institutions such as Women Make Movies. In doing so, they assess the global, institutional, political, and artistic factors that have shaped women's documentary practices in the 21st century, and their implications for scholarly debates regarding women's authorship, political subjectivity, and documentary representation.

Reviews for Women and Global Documentary: Practices and Perspectives in the 21st Century

Women and Global Documentary is more than “works by, about, and for women.” Through portraits of iterative collaboration, deep listening, unglamorous labour, transnational solidarity, and struggle against settler-colonial, patriarchal, and environmental violence, this volume reframes feminist documentary as a process-based emergent form and rehearsal-ground for a more generous, hospitable world. -- Pooja Rangan * Professor of English in Film and Media Studies, Amherst College, USA * An exciting and innovative study of feminist world building through global documentary cinema by women. -- Parvati Nair * Professor of Hispanic, Cultural and Migration Studies, Queen Mary, University of London, UK *
