| book description |

For three decades, award-winning independent filmmaker Todd Haynes, who emerged in the early 1990s as a foundational figure in New Queer Cinema, has gained critical recognition for his outsider perspective. Today, Haynes is widely known for bringing womenâ€™s stories to the screen. Analyzing Haynesâ€™s films includingÂ Safe (1995), Velvet Goldmine (1998), Far from Heaven (2002), and Carol (2015), as well asÂ his unauthorized Karen Carpenter biopic,Â Superstar (1987), and the television miniseries Mildred Pierce (2011), the contributors to Reframing Todd Haynes reassess his work in light of his long-standing feminist commitments and his exceptional career as a director of womenâ€™s films. They present multiple perspectives on Haynesâ€™s film and television work and on his role as an artist-activist who draws on academic theorizations of gender and cinema. The volume illustrates the influence of feminist theory on Haynesâ€™s aesthetic vision, most evident in his persistent interest in the political and formal possibilities afforded by the genre of the womanâ€™s film. The contributors contend that no consideration of Haynesâ€™s work can afford to ignore the crucial place of feminism within it. Contributors. Danielle Bouchard, Nick Davis, Jigna Desai, Mary R. Desjardins, Patrick Flanery, Theresa L. Geller, Rebecca M. Gordon, Jess Issacharoff, Lynne Joyrich, Bridget Kies, Julia Leyda, David E. Maynard, Noah A. Tsika, Patricia White, Sharon Willis
