About Women’s Cinema in Contemporary Portugal

Women’s Cinema in Contemporary Portugal brings together scholars from Portugal, UK and the USA, to discuss sixteen women film directors in Portugal, focussing on their production in both feature film and documentary genres over the last half-century. It charts the specific cinematic visions that these women have brought to the re-emergence of Portuguese national cinema in the wake of the 1974 Revolution and African decolonisation, and to the growing internationalisation of Portugal’s arguably ‘minor’ or ‘small nation’ cinema, with significant young women directors such as Leonor Teles achieving prominence abroad.The history of Portuguese women’s cinema only begins systematically after the 1974 revolution and democratisation. This collection shows how female auteurs made a specific mark on Portugal’s post-revolutionary conceptualisation of a differently ‘national’ cinema, through the ethnographic output of the late 1970s. It goes on to explore women’s decisively gendered interventions in the cinematic memory practices that opened up around the masculine domain of the Colonial Wars in Africa. Feminist political issues such as Portugal’s thirty-year abortion campaign and LGBT status have become more visible since the 1990s, alongside preoccupations with global concerns relating to immigration, transit and minority status communities. The book also demonstrates how women have made specific contributions to the evolution of soundscapes, the genre of essay cinema, film’s relationship to the archive, and the adaptation of the written word. The result is a powerful, provocative and definitive challenge to the marginalisation of Portuguese female-directed film in terms of ‘double minority’.
