With this bold claim, this book seeks both to write the history of Bartolomé's extant filmography, and speculate about censored and un-filmed work, thereby fashioning a new way of writing a feminist creative life in film.\u003cbr\u003eThe first volume on this director to be written in English, The Cinema of Cecilia Bartolomé is also the first volume on the director published in any language for over twenty years. By focusing on Spanish-language cinema of the 1960s-90s, the period when feminism, like democracy, was re-born and seemingly consolidated in Spain, the study brings historical depth and transnational reach to current debates in the wake of #MeToo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFusing a distinctive feminist aesthetic with a startling vision of twentieth-century Spain, the work of Cecilia Bartolom? casts a new light on the histories of both Spanish national film, and transnational women's cinema. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Cinema of Cecilia Bartolom?\u003c\/i\u003e analyses the director's shorts, medium- and feature-length films, television work, as well as her un-filmed scripts. Deploying extensive archive work, the book adopts an auteurist perspective, but nuances it to include speculative approaches to censored and un-filmed work, thereby fashioning a new way of writing a feminist creative life in film. The volume also includes a new interview with the director, the first to be published in English. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach text is placed in dialogue with intersectional feminism, including Girlhood Studies (the approach to \u003ci\u003e?V?monos, B?rbara!\u003c\/i\u003e), political activism (a focus on the diptych documentaries) and race (the framework in which \u003ci\u003eLejos de ?frica\u003c\/i\u003eis placed). The book also highlights not only Bartolom?'s opposition to dictatorship, but that each text must be placed within the contexts of socio-political developments in Spain. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy focusing on Spanish-language cinema of the 1960s-90s, the period when feminism, like democracy, was reborn and seemingly consolidated in Spain, the study brings historical depth and transnational reach to current debates in the wake of #MeToo, and places Bartolom? among other key auteurs of Spanish and feminist cinema.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSally Faulkner is Professor of Spanish (1933) at the University of Cambridge\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 264\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 20, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48757304918265,"sku":"9781526194817","price":63.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/TQZHWy70sx9781526194817.webp?v=1785946287","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-cinema-of-cecilia-bartolome-feminism-and-francoism-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
