Abstract

This Special Issue ‘ Archiving: Documents for a Feminist History of Latin American Cinemas’ is a vindication of the importance of preserving women filmmakers’ collections of documents. We map, systematize and render visible these ‘imperfect archives’ or counter archives, which are fundamental to our ambitious and collective project of rewriting the history of Latin American cinemas from a feminist perspective. This issue also offers critical and contextual frameworks for understanding archival sources related to women’s filmmaking practices in cinema, video and/or television production. Our feminist interventions provide an expansive view of women’s work while assessing the current state of the archives of Latin American women filmmakers’ heritage scattered worldwide.
