Feminist documentary, ethnography and creative processes

Abstract

This essay is a reflective and critical approach to the animated documentary “Fate weaver” from a feminist and audiovisual anthropology perspective. It delves into both the research and creation processes that documentary making entails, while acknowledging the ethical dilemmas implied in the circulation of women’s stories and gender violence. At the same time, it puts forward the challenges and potential of feminist documentaries to make visible and raise awareness around these issues.
