Heightened Genre and Women's Filmmaking in HollywoodThe Rise of the Cine-fille /[electronic resource] :by Mary Harrod. - 1st ed. 2021. - XIV, 304 p. 24 illus., 23 illus. in color.online resource.

1. Introduction: Little Women and Cine-filles -- 2. Genre as Pastiche in Women's Filmmaking -- 3. Pastiching the Popular -- 4. Art Imitating Life Imitating Art -- 5. Conclusion: Communal Autofiction and Public Subjectivity in The Bling Ring. .

Despite the widely publicised prejudice faced by women in Hollywood, since around 1990 a significant minority of female directors have been making commercially and culturally impactful films there across the full range of genres. This book explores movies by filmmakers Amy Heckerling, Nora Ephron, Nancy Meyers, Catherine Hardwicke, Sofia Coppola, Kimberly Peirce, Kathryn Bigelow and Greta Gerwig, including many which are still critically neglected or derided, seeing them as offering a new understanding of genre filmmaking. That is, like many other contemporary films but in a striking proportion within the smaller set of mainstream movies by women, this body of work revels in a heightened genre status that allows its authors to simultaneously address ‘intellectual’ cinephilic pleasures and bodily-emotive ones. Arguing through close analysis that these films demonstrate the inseparability of such strategies of engagement in contemporary genre cinema, Heightened Genre reclaims women’s mainstream filmmaking for feminism through a recalibration of genre theory itself. .
