O protagonismo feminino na crítica e a visibilidade do cinema de mulheres : uma análise do coletivo Elviras e da revista Verberenas.

Abstract

The presence of women in film criticism has become essential for valuing and increasing the visibility of films made by women. Historically, both film production and criticism have been dominated by male perspectives, often leading to narratives that marginalize female experiences and obscure the contributions of pioneering women. This monograph aims to explore initiatives that promote female participation in film criticism, along with the tools and methods developed by women to enhance their impact, as well as the content of their analyses. The Elviras collective, made up of film critics from across the country, seeks to raise awareness and support the work of female filmmakers while challenging power structures within the film industry. Similarly, the magazine Verberenas serves as a platform for film criticism by women in the audiovisual field, often focusing on works associated with marginal cinema. These organizations play a crucial role in developing perspectives that go beyond dominant narratives, highlighting the work of multiple generations of female directors.
