Abstract

This exploration of the relation between women's cinema and Latin American cinemas, begins by interrogating the categories of national cinema, Latin American cinema, and women's cinemas, in order to transcend the geopolitical, linguistic, and colonialist and industrial market logics that have created these categories. Departing from questions such as: what feminist film analytics is adequate for articulating women's perspectives in new formations of world cinema?, I argue for the utility of the discourse of intersectionality as an analytics for films by women which present an alternative vision of the nation.
