Feminist Film Manifestos V. The right to one’s own body

International Women’s Film Festival at the CCCB

The dominant cinematographic representation of voyeuristic, fetishist and ultimately invisibilising practices regarding the experience of women in relation to their own bodies has its counterpoint in the practices of film feminisms. In this edition we present some seminal pieces from a dissident, feminist counter-cinema that have reversed the established canons and shifted the focus towards new expressions of pleasure, sexuality, reproductive health and its political defence and a discussion of gender binaryism.
