Trailblazing Women
Presented By: Claude Kerven
Movies play a key role in spreading awareness among women, uncovering their potential, challenging the male-dominated world and making further social change. Historically, the film industry has portrayed women as wives, lovers and mothers, or as glorified objects of beauty, symbolizing sex appeal and entertainment. But due to the feminist movement, gender stereotypes are finally being challenged, and more complex female characters represented on screen.
Female directors offer the audience an unbiased and realistic image of women that aligns with their actual status in society. Additionally, films directed by women are more often written by women and have more leading female characters than in films directed by male filmmakers. This course will address the greater recognition women directors are beginning to receive and honor 20 remarkable women who blazed the trail. The course will be taught in two sessions. (It is not necessary to attend both sessions.) Five films will be analyzed in each session. Please watch the film before you come to class! 1st SESSION
