What forms of resistance can cinema offer? What relations exist between documentary film and activism? How does feminist film deal with sexually explicit images? These questions and more are addressed in a podcast series accompanying the exhibition “No Master Territories: Feminist Worldmaking and the Moving Image,” curated by Erika Balsom and Hila Peleg.
In the 1980s and 1990s in Lima, white middle-class women made nonfiction films and videos with and about marginalized people, many of them Indigenous, who were living in slums around the city. This podcast looks back at this moment, diagnosing the questions of power, representation and positionality raised by this body of work.
