500 _aGaze Regimes is a bricolage of essays and interviews showcasing the experiences of women working together in film ,either directly as practicioners or in other areas such as curators ,festival programme directors or fundraisers. It does nto shy away from questioning the relations of power in the practice of filmmaking and the power invested in the gaze itself. Who is looking and who is being looked at ,who is telling women's stories in Africa and what governs the mechanics of making those films on the continent?
520 _a The disciplines of gender studies, Postcolonial theory, and film theory provide the framework for the book's essays, Beti Ellerson, Jyoti Mistry, Antje Schuhmann, Nobunye Levin, Dorothe Wenner and Christina von Braun are some of the contributors who provide valuable context, analysis and insight into, among other things, the politics of representation, the role of film festivals and the collective and individual experiences of trauma and marginality whivh contributes to the layered and complex filmic responses of Africa's film practitioners
