This publication explores two decades of experimental moving-image practices by women artists and filmmakers in Italy, bringing together 18 newly commissioned essays on figures including Valentina Berardinone, Giosetta Fioroni, Ketty La Rocca, Marisa Merz, Gina Pane, and others. Through illustrations and unpublished archival materials, the book examines how these pioneering creators used film and video as tools for investigation, documentation, and critique. Contributions by scholars and historians contextualize their practices within broader social and political transformations, tracing new forms of subjectivity, identity, and visual language. A dedicated timeline connects key historical events with significant works, positioning Italian practices within wider transnational dialogues.
