Latin American Women Filmmakers

"This volume is a valuable source of information about the work of women directors in Latin America, especially in light of the scarcity of scholarly studies in film theory and criticism about women directors, both in the region and more widely."--Sofía Ruiz-Alfaro, Aztlán: A Journal of Chicano Studies

"A thought-provoking and informative study. . . . The sharply delineated analyses, supported by solid research on social and historical contexts and film techniques, make it an accessible and useful text for students and scholars of all levels."

--Studies in Latin American Popular Culture

"Women filmmakers are marginalized, underdistributed, and underappreciated in Latin America, so how is it that their work is so good? Roberts-Camps explores the work of eight filmmakers from four countries to explore the challenges, and the opportunities, of making important films outside the commercial machine."--Debra A. Castillo, author of Redreaming America: Toward a Bilingual American Culture
