| Abstract | "Quiet Pictures approaches the films of Joanna Hogg, Lynne Ramsay, Céline Sciamma, and Lucile Hadžhalilovic through the lens of silence. It looks at uses of silence and how this creates a space for innovative practices that establish new ways of looking, staring, and gazing. The deployment of silence allows for reciprocal gazes that counteract the typically gendered and binary ways in which women and femme-presenting people tend to be portrayed on screen. Quiet Pictures draws on the political legacy of feminist film theory to explore and conceptualise what it means to not just look back, but to share the gaze"-- Provided by publisher. |
