Post Script: Essays in Film and the Humanities solicits submissions for
a special issue on Latin American women filmmakers, guest edited by Nora Glickman
(CUNY) and Patricia Nuriel (Wofford College).
Over the past four decades the increasing number of women film directors
in Latin America has provided a substantial contribution to the field of world
cinematography, adding original perspectives that deconstruct conventional
conceptions on filmmaking. Their work sheds light across a vast spectrum of
themes such as inquiries of history and memory, denunciation of dictatorships,
condemnation of violence against minorities and the environment, and exploration
of female sexuality.
This special issue of Post Script invites scholars, independent
researchers, and filmmakers to submit interviews with Latin American women
filmmakers. Review essays and book reviews on the topic are also welcome.
Manuscripts must be in English. They should be original and will be subject to
peer review. Manuscripts should be between 4000-7000 words for interviews;
750-1,000 words for book reviews, or 3,000 words for review essays (2-3 books).
