Women Filmmakers and the Visual Politics of Transnational China in the #MeToo Era
Manoeuvring around mainland China's censors and pushing back against threats of lawsuits, online harassment, and physical violence, #MeToo activists shed a particularly harsh light on the treatment of women in the cinema and entertainment industries. Focusing on films from the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the Chinese diaspora, this book considers how female directors shape Chinese visual politics through the depiction of the look, the stare, the leer, the glare, the glimpse, the glance, the queer and the oppositional gaze in fiction and documentary filmmaking. In the years leading up to and following in the wake of #MeToo, these cosmopolitan women filmmakers offer innovative angles on body image, reproduction, romance, family relations, gender identity, generational differences, female sexuality, sexual violence, sex work, labor migration, career options, minority experiences, media access, feminist activism and political rights within the rapidly changing Chinese cultural orbit.

Hear Me with Your Eyes
Hear Me with Your Eyes examines the intrusion of the voice
into the cinematographic gaze and the intersections (and ruptures)
of the sound-image in Argentine women filmmakers from a feminist
perspective. In different ways, Maria Luisa Bemberg, Lita Stantic,
Lucrecia Martel, Albertina Carri, Maria Victoria Menis, Lucia
Puenzo, Sabrina Farji, Paula de Luque, Anahi Berneri, Sandra
Gugliotta, and Gabriela David explore the visual realm through the
continuities, intrusions, irrelevancies, harmonies, and
desynchronizations of the voice. Or, instead, they explore
different voices and their modulations, including whispers,
screams, singing, echoes, breathing, resonance, sighs, and the
transcendent voice, the narrative voice, the silenced voice, the
articulated and unarticulated voice, and that which is none of the
above. These voices suggest another relationship with the
audiovisual realm, one that seems to include a closeness that
erases, if only intermittently, the unalterable relationship
between subject and object that characterizes the patriarchal
visual regime.

The Value Gap
How female directors, producers, and writers navigate
the challenges and barriers facing female-driven projects at each
stage of filmmaking in contemporary Hollywood.
Conversations about gender equity in the workplace accelerated in
the 2010s, with debates inside Hollywood specifically pointing to
broader systemic problems of employment disparities and
exploitative labor practices. Compounded by the devastating #MeToo
revelations, these problems led to a wide-scale call for change.
The Value Gap traces female-driven filmmaking across
development, financing, production, film festivals, marketing, and
distribution, examining the realities facing women working in the
industry during this transformative moment. Drawing from five years
of extensive interviews with female producers, writers, and
directors at different stages of their careers, Courtney Brannon
Donoghue examines how Hollywood business cultures \"value\"
female-driven projects as risky or not bankable. Industry claims
that \"movies targeting female audiences don't make money\" or \"women
can't direct big-budget blockbusters\" have long circulated to
rationalize systemic gender inequities and have served to normalize
studios prioritizing the white male-driven status quo. Through a
critical media industry studies lens, The Value Gap
challenges this pervasive logic with firsthand accounts of women
actively navigating the male-dominated and conglomerate-owned
industrial landscape.
