什么是“女性凝视”？它的涵义究竟是什么？为什么越来越多的女性电影人/创作者引用这项术语来诠释她们的作品？看还是被看、观察还是被观察，注视的背后是否存在着有意识的选择？What’s the “female gaze” What does it mean indeed Why are more and more women filmmakers/creators using this term to explain their works Seeing or being seen, observing or being observed, is there a conscious choice behind the gaze

关于本系列 About this Series

当一个女性用自己的眼睛看世界，用自己的想法来表达时会发生什么？主宰式的“男性凝视”与观察和冥想式的“女性凝视”有什么区别？当一个女人思考、写作、渴望和创造时，在这种“女性凝视”背后她究竟想要表达和实现什么？

What happens when a woman looks at the world with her own eyes, and expresses by her own thoughts What’s the difference between the dominating “male gaze” and the “female gaze” that observes and contemplates When a woman thinks, writes, desires, and creates, what is she trying in fact to say and achieve behind this “female gaze” 

本系列我们将邀请12位来自不同国家、不同文化背景的女性电影人、作家和艺术家，将通过8场系列探讨，与我们分享她们作为女性创作者的创作历程和生活经历，引发思考。无论是独自一人还是与另一位嘉宾对话，她们都将帮助我们“回转视线”，发掘我们每一个人自身拥有的内在创造力。

For this series, we invite 12 women filmmakers, writers and artists from different countries and cultural backgrounds, to share with us their creative process and life experiences as women creators, through eight talks.  Whether alone or in conversation with another, the guest speakers will help us “turn the look back,” to discover the creative source power that we all have in us.

“当作为女性不再是一份受保护的职业时，任何事情都可能发生。”英国作家弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫说。所有性别主体都可以用女性凝视创作电影。所有的女性凝视都在以其独一无二的独特性表达着某种意识和觉醒。这个探讨系列活动将采取艺术交流和分享的形式，而非纯粹学术性的理论讲座。我们将聆听这些女性影像艺术创作人的真实故事，从“道格玛95”电影运动到当代纪录片、故事片和艺术视频创作的幕后故事。这些常常身兼多职、跨界于不同艺术领域的：作家、导演、制片人、演员、摄影指导、编舞、编剧、诗人、艺术家……这些女性创作者们将用她们的艺术、思想和体验帮助我们以全新的视角展望未来。

“Anything may happen when womanhood has ceased to be a protected occupation,” said the British writer Virginia Woolf.  All genders can create films with a female gaze. All female gaze expresses a certain awareness and awakening in its singular uniqueness. This talk series will take an approach of artistic exchange and sharing, rather than an academic and theoretic lecture. We’ll hear the women filmmakers’ authentic stories of creation, from the “Dogma 95” film movement to behind the scenes of the contemporary documentary, fiction, and art video production. Often multi-talented and crossing different art forms: writer, director, producer, actress, cinematographer, choreographer, dramaturge, poet, artist, these women creators use their art, thoughts, and experiences to bring us a new perspective for the future.
