Abstract

This communication focuses on the possibilities of analyzing a film, made by a woman, from a gender perspective. Based on the assumption that feminisms did not denounce “only” the non-places of women in art, still allowing, and essentially, their slow and difficult entry into a male universe, we focus on an art whose lack of representation in terms of gender, in management positions, has been particularly criticized. The proposed communication begins, therefore, in the study of feminist criticisms aimed at certain films that will have mimicked (or even perpetuated) the patriarchal order. The central objective, however, will be the realization of the reverse exercise, conjecturing the possibility of the exploitation of feminist themes by female filmmakers, in response to stereotypes and the invisibility of female characters created by male filmmakers.
