F06 :: Feminist Film Studies

I happen to have found a very cool website at www.sistersincinema.com, and while the name really stands out, it has tons of information on Black film makers. This website has a huge list of film makers and also pictures included. The first name on the list under film makers was Maya Angelou. This really surprised me because I had no idea Maya Angelou had her hands in film. This website also really focused on independant films and documentaries, which is great!
The next website I checked out was www.nalip.org, which is a website based upon latino film makers. This website was not as detailed as the sisters in cinema site, but it was more aimed at representing extremely local and independant female latino film makers. The highlight of the website was to reward the winners of contests, which seemed to be help by the nalip organization.
The third website I visited was www.kinoasia.com. This website was probabaly my favorite because it listed all of the asian filmmakers, and listed them by country. This website was very detailed, a little less pretty, but very informative. This website highlights on male and female filmmakers, and lists a section of names on the right hand side of the site. This type of categorizing made it fun and interesting to compare artists from country to country.
