Intro to Gender Studies
Feminist film theory is a critical framework that analyzes the representation of women in film and how these representations reinforce or challenge gender stereotypes. It explores how filmic techniques and narrative structures influence viewers' perceptions of gender roles and power dynamics, often highlighting the male gaze, objectification, and the marginalization of female characters. This theory seeks to understand how cinema reflects societal views on gender while advocating for more equitable portrayals of women.
