APRIL 2022 - Karlee Rodrigues brought Rio de Janeiro-based filmmakers Eunice Gutman and Maria Luiza Aboim together for an interview to discuss their films and their essential contributions to the documentary form in Brazilian cinema history. The interview belongs to a new programme, “MULHERES: UMA OUTRA HISTÓRIA”, a collaboration between Another Gaze, a feminist film journal with the mission of providing nuanced criticism about women filmmakers, protagonists and spectators and Cinelimite, a non-profit media arts organization dedicated to exhibiting, distributing, and restoring repertory Brazilian Cinema in effort to create opportunities for cultural exchange between the U.S. and Brazil.
Now streaming for free between April 24th-May 24th, this bilingual programme exhibits a total of six radical rare documentaries about work by Brazilian women filmmakers (1978-’94), including new digitisations, essays, and interviews.

“The complicated preservation histories of all these titles reflect a longer history of women’s cinema being overlooked in Brazil both inside and outside the archives. Existing at the margins of canonical lists and rarely exhibited in cinemas or at festivals, the titles in our program have only been lauded more recently for their aesthetic brilliance and revolutionary spirit by feminist Brazilian film scholars, many of whom argue for their reinsertion into a larger discussion surrounding marginalised groups whose voices have not been considered throughout 20th century Brazilian film history.”
