Abstract

The article titled "Editors' Introduction: Why We Curate Feminist Film Archives" explores the significance of feminist film curating in uncovering forgotten women and marginalized filmmakers in film history. It emphasizes that everyone can contribute to this collective project and that feminist futures can be found in what is absent and present in the archive. The article provides examples of feminist film curating, such as digital networks, archival film festivals, and gallery exhibitions. It also discusses the challenges and complexities of restoring and curating films by overlooked female filmmakers, as well as the role of feminist film curation in addressing societal issues. The text encourages readers to join the movement of transforming and reimagining film history through the liberation of marginalized and counterfactual moving image archives.
