Tema Genus

Dear friends,

Tema Genus Higher Seminar series cordially invites you to our next lecture by a celebrated decolonial thinker, filmmaker and educator Dalida Maria Benfield, which will take place entirely on zoom on April 15, 2026, at 15.00-17.00

A Thousand Years of Feminist Cinema History

Dalida Maria Benfield

Taking its cue, in part, from Manuel De Landa’s A Thousand Years of Nonlinear History (1997), this talk is a decolonial discursive intervention in feminist cinema theory and history. When does feminist cinema begin? What is its timescale? Where does feminist cinema occur? What are its geopolitics? Thinking with decolonial feminist aesthesis, the answers to these questions re-site the cinematic apparatus as only one technology of feminist cinemas. Viewed alongside archaeologies of visual cultural production across different ancient sites, and outside and against the temporalities of the modern/colonial/capitalist world-system, the contemporary forms and theories of feminist cinema are both minute and infinite. The multiple scales and forms of feminist cinema of the past thousand years help us formulate other definitions of both feminism and cinema towards understanding, and sustaining, further experiences and practices of feminist decolonial aesthesis.
Dalida María Benfield, Ph.D., is an artist, filmmaker, theorist, and cultural organizer who researches and activates feminist decolonial thought, pedagogy, and creative action in the context of global information ebbs and flows. Her work initiates collective processes of knowledge production and autonomous cultural interventions. Digital cinemas and archives, and augmented and virtual realities, are repositioned as ancestral technologies in her work. She is the co-founder of the Center for Arts, Design, and Social Research (CAD+SR), www.centerartsdesign.org.
