K-Nelson article appears in Jump Cut
On the 30th anniversary of Michelle Citron’s and Ellen Seiter’s 1981 article, “The Woman with the Movie Camera”, co-authors Jennifer Proctor, River E. Branch and Kyja Kristjansson-Nelson, Cinema Arts & Digital Technologies, published a critical response, “Woman with the Movie Camera Redux: Revisiting the Position of Women in the Production Classroom”.
The article is a call and template for a responsive pedagogy addressing the pervasive violent representations of women in student films and the continuing under-representation of women in the culture of production – a critical echo of and expansion upon Citron’s and Seiter’s call in 1981.
Work on the article began after overwhelming interest and response to a 2010 University Film & Video Association conference panel presented by co-authors Proctor (Assistant Professor in Journalism and Screen Studies at the University of Michigan-Dearborn), Branch (Assistant Professor of Communication Arts & Theatre at Allegheny College), and K-Nelson (Associate Professor, Cinema Arts & Digital Technologies at Minnesota State University Moorhead).
The article was published by Jump Cut: A Review of Contemporary Media, which also published the 1981 article, and can be accessed at the Jump Cut website.
