The creative orientation and value expression of contemporary Latin American female directors'films
Since the 1990s,Latin American female directors have been active in the world cinema as an important crea-tive force.In terms of creative orientation and value expression,female directors have paid attention to the plight of the lesbian community in the male-dominated society and constructed the subjectivity of lesbian community through the por-trayal of same-sex"sisterhood".As a kind of alliance against male power,women are able to boldly break the traditional taboos of gender roles and subvert the stereotypes of heterosexuals towards homosexuals.While focusing on gender issues,the group of female directors also analyzes the oppression suffered by ethnic minority women in Latin American history and reality in terms of race and class,and empowers them to resist the authority of the white discourse by giving them the ability to"oppositional gaze"in order to realize their own self-value.Reflecting the marginal status of separated women in the transnational liminal space is also a common theme in the films of contemporary Latin American women directors.In the context of globalization,Latin American women in other countries are often faced with a double marginal situation,as they are both suppressed by their own country's patriarchal system and exploited by racist ideology in other countries.In their films,women directors have not only restored the marginal status of discrete women,but also portrayed how they ac-tively construct their own subjective values.In addition,the female director group also emphasizes the experience of women's survival in the historical scene.In the film,women become the witnesses of historical events,and they express their own insights on Latin American society and history with their unique worldviews,thus restoring to the audience the memory of women who have been absent from the narrative of the history of Latin America.
