The New Woman Behind the Camera
Our August films all focus on the female gaze, or rather the varied and unique perspectives of the female protagonists who drive these stories. However, it is not just the gaze in front of the camera which interests us, it’s also how these perspectives are, quite literally, being framed. This week we celebrate women photographers whose artistry broke new ground. From now through October 3, The Met will be exhibiting “The New Women Behind the Camera”, which highlights over 120 female photographers between the 1920s and 1950s who broke ground through their photographic expression and, in so doing, helped to fuel political and social movements of their time. If you don’t live in New York, do not fear: they are offering virtual group tours upon request.
