Since the turn of the millennium, a growing number of female filmmakers have appropriated the aesthetics of horror for their films. In this book, Patricia Pisters investigates contemporary women directors such as Ngozi Onwurah, Claire Denis, Lucile Hadžihalilović and Ana Lily Amirpour, who put ‘a poetics of horror’ to new use in their work, expanding the range of gendered and racialized perspectives in the horror genre..Exploring themes such as rage, trauma, sexuality, family ties and politics, New Blood in Contemporary Cinema takes on avenging women, bloody vampires, lustful witches, scary mothers, terrifying offspring and female Frankensteins. By following a red trail of blood, the book illuminates a new generation of women directors who have enlarged the general scope and stretched the emotional spectrum of the genre..Discusses how contemporary women directors have appropriated horror aesthetics, enlarging its generic scope and expanding its emotional spectrum. Revisits themes and concerns of the horror genre, from the perspective of women directors. Includes case studies of important female directed films, including Raw, Evolution and Atlantics. Revisits feminist themes such as female agency, gender and race relations and affect by returning to the work of feminist directors of the 1970s and 1980s (not necessarily considered as generic horror films), in comparison to contemporary women directors. Includes women of colour as well as white women directors, thus acknowledges both differences of the specific ethnic and social political contexts and shared concerns.

Este libro recoge una serie de entrevistas y encuentros con mujeres cineastas del siglo XXI cuyas voces están redibujando la cinematografía nacional, a menudo, desde los márgenes de la industria. La introducción perfila el contexto de esta emergencia y las principales líneas discursivas, subrayando el surgimiento de redes más o menos formales que permiten pensarse de manera colectiva. Las entrevistas, realizadas por especialistas en cine español y acompañadas de retratos ex profeso, exploran sus trayectorias laborales y vitales, sus aportaciones artísticas y las particularidades del quehacer fílmico en clave de género. Las experiencias de creadoras diversas —cuya obra se adscribe a la ficción, el documental y la animación— ofrecen una mirada poliédrica y descentrada al cine contemporáneo.

Alexandra Juhasz asked twenty-one women to tell their stories—women whose names make up a who is (and who will be) who of independent and experimental film and video. What emerged in the resulting conversations is a compelling (and previously underdocumented) history of feminism and feminist film and video, from its origins in the fifties and sixties to its apex in the seventies, to today. Women of Vision is a companion piece to Juhasz’s 1998 documentary of the same name. The book presents the complete interviews, allowing readers to hear directly the voices of these articulate, passionate women in an interactive remembering of feminist media history. Juhasz’s introduction provides a historical, theoretical, and aesthetic context for the interviews. These subjects have all shaped late twentieth-century film and video in fundamental ways, either as artists, producers, distributors, critics, or scholars, and they all believe that media are the most powerful tools for effecting change. Yet they are a very diverse group, with widely varying personal and professional backgrounds. By presenting their interviews together, Juhasz shows the differences among those involved in feminist media, but also the connections among them, and the way in which the field has been enriched by their sharing of knowledge and power. In the end, Juhasz not only records these women’s careers, she broadens our understanding of feminism and shows how feminist history and documentary are made.
