Booming Harmonics: Feminist Ecologies of Process Cinema
摘要
This chapter will explore recent practices of ‘Process Cinema’ that are informed by understandings of plant and animal ecologies, feminist phenomenologies, and entangled temporalities of the planetary. Examining recent films that are deeply situated through techniques of animation and DIY filmmaking, as well as traditions of women’s handiwork such as quilting, stitching, and beading, the chapter reflects upon recent forms of ‘ecological thinking’ in feminist experimental films. Such works include living systems outside the frame grounded in actions of material making. But first we start with history.
