Sumario: | At most recent count, there are no fewer than 45 women in Brazil directing or codirecting feature-length fiction or documentary films. In the early 1990s, women filmmakers in Brazil were credited for being at the forefront of the rebirth of filmmaking, or retomada, after the abolition of the state film agency and subsequent standstill of film production.

Filling this void, this work focuses on women's film production in Brazil from the mid-1970s to the current era. |
