In their introduction, the editors of Re-vision observe that during the seventies and early eighties, women's work in film—the making of feminist documentaries, the organizing of women's film festivals, the writing of criticism and theory—was remarkable for its high degree of cooperation and collaboration. It is fitting, then, that this volume of thoughtful, provocative essays of feminist film criticism is the result of their collective work as well as the collaboration of the Center for the Humanities at the University of Southern California and the Center for Twentieth Century Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Women of Vision - Histories in Feminist Film and Video

What emerged in the resulting conversations is a compelling (and previously underdocumented) history of feminism and feminist film and video, from its origins in the fifties and sixties to its apex in the seventies, to today.
