Addressing the politics of representation and authorship both behind and in front of the camera, a range of international scholars explore the pressing issues in relation to female authorship in contemporary documentary practices.

This two volume set investigates the theoretical and practical framework that informs scholarship on documentary film that has hitherto neglected questions of gender and female authorship. It examines a wide array of documentary phenomena through global and transnational case studies and interviews. It also place a special emphasis on the nature of both individual and collective filmmaking and the ways in which these dynamics inform documentary work.
