You’ll Thank Us For Telling You About The ‘Femme Regard Podcast’
At That Moment In, we’ve long supported independent filmmakers and especially women in film, so it’s our pleasure to introduce and recommend an exciting podcast that we’re happy to have come upon, a project from two female voices that have created and deliver fresh takes on both. Here’s their story.
Femme Regard Productions is a two-woman-led production company founded by Carolina Alvarez and Tessa Markle. Femme Regard is derived from the French phrase “regard féminin” which translates to “female gaze.” It was coined in response to the film theorist Laura Mulvey’s “male gaze,” a term used to represent both the gaze of the viewer, as well as the creator. These two women recognized that the majority of mainstream film, both classical and modern, tend to skew the point-of-view, objectification of, and society’s roles for women. The mission of Femme Regard is to not only reinvent stereotypical female roles in film, but also to help create opportunities for women in front of and behind the camera.
