Portuguese Women Film Directors and the Environment: Margarida Cardoso’s Atlas
| Resumo: | This article discusses the notion of a specifically Portuguese women’s cinema. The first section analyzes the concept of women’s cinema in light of socioeconomic constraints and of auteur theory. The second section focuses on the portrayal of nature as an entry point into an analysis of Portuguese women’s cinema. It interprets Margarida Cardoso’s short documentary Atlas (2013) as a case study for the use of the environment in Portuguese women’s cinema to obliquely comment upon gender issues, going back to and subtly modifying the tradition of linking women and nature in Western culture. |
