After the 1974 Revolution, two female directors made landmark documentaries, and women were active founder members of film cooperatives, but most women still worked in traditionally 'below-the-line' roles such as editing, continuity, production, secretarial assistance, costume and set design, props and makeup.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book brings these women's stories to light as it foregrounds their perspectives on this transformational decade in Portuguese filmmaking. Relying on new interviews and archive research, the book reads between the lines of the male-authored histories, documents and films which built the national cinema canon to unearth female experiences and women's creative input. The films discussed include: \u003ci\u003eNojo aos Cães \u003c\/i\u003e(António de Macedo)\u003ci\u003e, O Recado\u003c\/i\u003e (José Fonseca e Costa)\u003ci\u003e, Bom Povo Português \u003c\/i\u003e(Rui Simões), \u003ci\u003eFrancisca\u003c\/i\u003e (Manoel de Oliveira) and\u003ci\u003e Silvestre \u003c\/i\u003e(João César Monteiro), as well as collective cooperative work, such as \u003ci\u003eAs Armas e o Povo \u003c\/i\u003e(Colectivo dos Trabalhadores de Actividade and\u003ci\u003e A Lei da Terra \u003c\/i\u003e(Grupo Zero), and TV series\u003ci\u003e. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.
