In detailing the relationship of three women filmmakers’ lives and films to the changing institutions of the post-World War II era, Lauren Rabinovitz has created the first feminist social history of the North American avant-garde cinema.   At a time when there were few women directors in commercial films, the postwar avant-garde movement offered an opportunity. Rabinovitz argues that avant-garde cinema, open to women because of its marginal status in the art world, included women as filmmakers, organizers, and critics.   Focusing on Maya Deren, Shirley Clarke, and Joyce Wieland, Rabinovitz illustrates how women used bold physical images to enhance their work and how each provided entrée to her subversive art while remaining culturally acceptable. She combines archival materials with her own interviews to show how the women’s labor and films, even their identities as women filmmakers, were produced, disseminated, and understood. With a new preface and an updated bibliography, Points of Resistance simultaneously demonstrates the avant-garde’s importance as an organizational network for women filmmakers and the processes by which women remained marginal figures within that network.   New Textbooks>Trade Paperback>Movies & TV>Film Studies>Film Studies, University of Illinois Press Core >1 >T<

London. 2002. British Film Institute. Reprinted Paperback Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 0851706681. 96 pages. paperback. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Sunrise - A Song of Two Humans (1927) is one of the most historically pivotal of all films. A lavish and sumptuous production, it was the first film made in America by the celebrated German director F.W. Murnau, who also directed Nosferatu (1922). Sunrise mediates between German expressionism and American melodrama, the Avant-Garde and popular fiction, silent cinema and ‘talkies’. A lavish and sumptuous production famous for its vast, specially constructed sets, Sunrise was one of Hollywood’s most ambitious undertakings. Lucy Fischer’s book is a model of film analysis, which locates Sunrise in a fascinating range of historical aesthetic and philosophical contexts. inventory #34810 ISBN: 0851706681., 0, Paperback / softback.
