Wandering Women: Urban Ecologies of Italian Feminist Filmmaking - New Directions in National Cinemas
Laura Di Bianco
As a film student, Laura Di Bianco found herself captivated by the wandering women populating the films of Fellini, Pasolini, and other Italian auteur directors, women searching for a place in the shifting landscape of the Anthropocene.
As a response to the marginal spaces these women occupy, Wandering Women collects and connects the nomadic narratives shaped by these roaming women. Foregrounding ecological discourse, Di Bianco explores the work of a remarkable group of eight female film directors and how they place themselves in a scene's landscape, both literately and figuratively, through methods of cinematic self-reference. The films analyzed offer a broad representation of what women endure, characterized by alienation, social invisibility, and marginality; by the impossibility to reconcile paid work and motherhood; and by the debasement of female bodies and the degradation of their environment. The movement of these women, and the landscapes they bring into view, challenges the notion of a masculine domain and tells the story of Italy's industrialization, pollution, and erasure of nature.
A captivating combination of film, gender, and ecology, Wandering Women reveals how women's urban filmmaking exposes the significance of environmental crises on women's conditions in contemporary Italy. -- Indiana University Press
