Subject: two unrelated questions



1)  Can anyone refer me to a (silent?) b&w film which contains a scene
depicting a woman tied up to railroad tracks?  (Feel free to reply
privately--since this really isn't relevant to  film theory.)


2)  It seems that after a certain date, theorists stopped writing about
what a feminist cinema might or should  be--I mean after all those essays
which advocated a feminist counter-cinema a la   Claire Johnston.
Annette Kuhn in "Textual Politics" and Teresa de Lauretis in "Rethinking
Women's Cinema" postulate what a post-counter-cinema  women's cinema might
be. But I am unable to find much writing on this subject after the mid
1980s. Judith Mayne in _Woman at the Keyhole_ (1990) and Liz Kotz in "An
Unrequited Desire for the Sublime" (1993) touch on these issues but don't
really focus on them.  Can anyone direct me to  recent (i.e.  1990s)
discussions of "women's cinema" or "feminist cinema."

thanks in advance,
