EDUQAS Component 2.Global Filmmaking Perspectives, Section B. Documentary Film

This presentation is based on insights from Patricia White’s article ‘Cinema Solidarity: The Documentary Practice of Kim Longinotto’ from Cinema Journal 46, No. 1, Fall 2006.

Using Sisters in Law (Ayisi and Longinotto) as the central case study, this 30-slide presentation forms the basis of an hour-long lesson and concludes with a past exam question.

Ideal for teaching EDUQAS A-LEVEL** FILM STUDIES**, this resource focuses on Kim Longinotto’s documentary practice and ‘theory’, allowing students to contextualise her approach in terms of wider feminist debates around the position and role of Western feminists vis-a-vis feminists from other cultures and national contexts.
