During this critical decade in American life, artists built on the styles of the 1950s. An explosion of artistic energy produced Pop Art, Minimalism, color-field painting, and hard-edged abstraction. Sculptors and painters on both coasts explored new methods and new subject matter.

The art of that time mirrors the optimism and the affluence, and the technology and the vulgarity of those boom years.

Loden’s WANDA had a latent feminist sensibility, if not an overtly expressed feminist politics. While some feminist audiences of the film saw little of an affirmative model within it, WANDA also was exhibited in early women’s film festivals of the 1970-80s, where it was often programmed alongside the films here assembled. In a contemporaneous, parallel track of women’s filmmaking, women on the cusp of the feminist movement’s second wave began to analyze the problems they faced in their daily lives. Across non-fiction and avant-garde modes, these films embodied an emergent collective feminist voice using distinct strategies: collage, disruption, self-narration.
