| Description | Feminists Behind the Camera introduced students to the analysis and production of film and video through close examination of works by artists/critics/cultural workers/filmmakers including Chantal Akerman, Christina Choe, Julie Dash, Maya Deren, Cheryl Dunye, Valie Export, Andrea Fraser, Zora Neal Hurston, Trinh T. Minh-Ha, Kimberley Pierce, Lourdes Portillo, Yvonne Rainer, Martha Rosler, Anna Deavere Smith, Chick Strand, Elisabeth Subrin, Agnes Varda, and others. Students practiced reading visual images by focusing on the development of media works and their relationship to the cultural context (economic, historical, political, intellectual and artistic) from which they came. Students screened and read a variety of essential texts and created written and image-driven work in response. Students met outside of class in small groups to continue conversations begun in class where they practiced or developed their skills in creating collective spaces of critical inquiry and individual research pathways. |
