ALEXIS
KRASILOVSKY and JULIA STEIN discuss their new book SHOOTING WOMEN: BEHIND THE
CAMERA, AROUND THE WORLD (Intellect
UK) ISBN: 9781783205066
Shooting Women takes readers around
the world to explore the lives of camerawomen working in features, TV news, and
documentaries. From first world pioneers like African American camerawoman
Jessie Maple Patton who got her job only after suing the union - to China’s
first camerawomen, who travelled with Mao – to rural India where poor women
have learned camerawork as a means of empowerment, Shooting Women reveals
a world of women working with courage and skill in a male-dominated field.
“In the end, although this book [does] … we sum
up what this history has taught us about strategic options available to
increase women’s role in the media behind the camera. Along with a history of
women’s involvement in camerawork, we provide information on how the
professional camerawomen got to be where they are and what advice they have for
women who would like to work professionally behind the camera.”- Harriet
Margolis
