Feminist Thought and Film: A Review of the Literature

Feminism has been incorporated into the world of cinema. However, several films that were released, in that time, showed women supporting men with their desires, goals, or objectives. Therefore, this research seeks to document the presence of feminist thought in cinema, through the question: What is the trend of studies on feminist thought in cinema during the last five years in Ibero-America? The present systematic review of the literature used the PRISMA method. Likewise, it considered as selection criteria, in the Scopus database, that the texts were open access publications, articles published in the last five years and in Ibero-American countries. The result of this research was divided into six categories: representation of women, gender inequality, violence against women, protest against the patriarchal system, feminism and sisterhood, and male representation in cinema. The main limitation was the lack of articles in Spanish, so it represents a study opportunity for researchers.
