For moving towards a decolonial, anticapitalist, emancipated-from-heteronormativity transfeminist future.
This is a list capped at 100 films threading a counter history to cinema. This is not a "ra-ra girl power" collection, or even a list of women's influences on a cinematic canon, but a collection of cinema that is unique in its willingness to show and to radicalize the female experience. Early films on here that may be less overt in their feminist messaging are included either because they show women's place in revolutionary causes, are a first to depict an experience, or have been key in the discussion surrounding this alternate text.
All films are briefly annotated explaining why they're here. Discussion is welcome, but please understand that this is made with an awareness of an intrinsically misogynist studio system, a desire for avant-garde and worldwide productions. Therefore, this will not be including the newest wide-release intended to pander to "women's issues".
In regards to the lack of so-called "genre films" here, with the exception of a couple art-horrors some exploitation cinema, and one work of speculative fiction, this list has ended up largely documentary centered, as this is what nearly all earlier entries are. The prevalence of documentary may be that the personal is political, and it is far easier to document reality than to work the truth of the world into fiction.
not on imdb (probably doesnt qualify)
