The importance of feminist cinematographic theory in Mexico: a call for the analysis of gender and cinem

Abstract

This article proposes a review of three aspects that have emerged in the current conditions of Mexican cinema in relation to gender: the invisibility of the work of female Mexican directors, the reproduction of gender stereotypes in comercial cinema and the transfiguration of the female Mexican spectator as a consumer of a more extensive cinema market. This study is a call for the consolidation of a Mexican feminist cinematographic theory to address these three problems.
