Book excerpt: Germaine Dulac is among the most important figures of French silent cinema, even world cinema tout court. An adventurous filmmaker, subtle theoretician, and powerful feminist with a non-conforming sexuality, she bridged 'Impressionist' and Surrealist cinema, ending her career with documentary films in the politically turbulent 1930s. Her writings, made available in English for the first time in an excellent translation by Scott Hammen, are simply a must-have for any scholar or lover of cinema as well as for scholars of gender and sexuality. The present publication in e-book format is an English translation of the original 1994 French edition, now out-of-print, with a new preface by Prosper Hillairet that puts Dulac’s importance and current relevance into perspective, and a foreword by Tami M.
