Feminist Cinema
A list of 310 feminist films from all over the world including South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, Central America and North America. These films may not necessarily contain atypical 'strong' female characters but each one either tackles woman's issues or women's social spheres through a critical lens in a sincere, earnest or, at the very least, interesting manner. Some of these films are therefore a celebration of womanhood, whilst some are tales of endurance. These films concern women from many different ways of life and also contain both mainstream and arthouse films along with some shorts and documentaries.
