CINE LÉSBICO ESPAÑOL DIRIGIDO POR MUJERES: EL CASO DE MARTA BALLETBÓ-COLL: COSTA BRAVA (1995) Y SÉVIGNÉ (2004)

Abstract

In the last decades the spanish LGBTI+ cinema has evolved toward a more numerous and varied representations of gender and sexual orientation difference. However, the visibility of lesbian women is still insuficient specially if we talk about films directed by women. In this text, through the analisis of two films of Marta Balletbó-Coll: Costa Brava (1995) and Sévigné (2004), I will deepen in the construction of a lesbian subject who rejects to be objectified and espectacularised by patriarcal society. For this purpose, I will pay attention to the way in which both narratives depict empowered feminine characters that base their relations in sorority and self-acceptance of lesbian identity.
