Meet the Archive #8 | Archiving the legacy of Women in film: collaborations and networks

Описание: Eye Filmmuseum has been committed for decades to concentrate on the role of women in cinema. Women’s oeuvres seem to have been obscured by lack of research and resources, combined with misconceptions. Carefully weeding through cliches and by rediscovering and studying the films in their own right and within their broader context, we see new narratives and networks emerging. Joining forces with others who also share our goals, we believe we can uncover and present women’s work in cinema in a new, more significant light, respecting its continuity across genres, periods and generations.

In this episode, Eye’s curator of experimental film Simona Monizza and curator of silent cinema Elif Rongen-Kaynakçi showcase some of the recent results of this approach; with shout-outs to the “Ellen Richter Retrospective”, “Cinema’s Earliest Nasty Women Project”, the efforts to restore and to reintroduce Vrouwen van Suriname, and Babeth Mondini-VanLoo’s tribute to Moniek Toebosch and others.
