Before Bemberg

Calls into question the historiography on Argentine women filmmakers that has centered on MarÍa Luisa Bemberg to the exclusion of her predecessors. The book’s introductory discussion of the abundant initial participation by women in film production in the 1910s is followed by an account of their exclusion from creative roles in the studio cinema.

Inainte de Bemberg: femeile cineaste argentiniene pun sub semnul intrebarii istoriografia femeilor cineaste argentiniene care s-a concentrat pe María Luisa Bemberg, cu excluderea predecesorilor sai. Discutia introductiva a participarii abundente initiale a femeilor la productia de film in anii 1910 este urmata de o relatare a excluderii lor din rolurile creative din cinematograful de studio, care a fost modificata doar de oportunitatile deschise de un boom al scurtmetrajului in anii 1960.
