ABSTRACT
This chapter reflects the recent evolution of my research on women and film, which is moving away from North American hegemony and White filmmakers and towards the presence and work of minority filmmakers in the United States and other parts of the world. The conference "Women Filmmakers: Refocusing" provided an opportunity for me to share my perspectives with a wide range of filmmakers from diverse nations and, especially; for me to find out more about the work of contemporary Canadian women directors.
