Italian female filmmakers in the Sixties and Seventies: lives, histories, and identities

Edited by Carla Subrizi, Paola Ugolini, and Maria Alicata for Fondazione In Between Art Film, this illustrated volume explores the cinematic, documentary, and video practices of women artists and filmmakers working in Italy during the 1960s and 1970s. Through 18 newly commissioned essays, unpublished archival materials, and illustrations, it examines the work of pioneering figures who used moving images as tools for artistic experimentation, documentation, and social critique. Bringing together contributions from leading scholars, the publication offers a new perspective on a transformative period in Italian art and culture, situating these practices within broader political, social, and transnational contexts.
