Girl Head shows how gender has had a surprising and persistent role in film production processes, well before the image ever appears onscreen. For decades, feminist film criticism has focused on issues of representation: images of women in film. But what are the feminist implications of the material object underlying that image, the filmstrip itself? What does feminist analysis have to offer in understanding the film image before it enters the realm of representation? Girl Head explores how gender and sexual difference have been deeply embedded within film materiality. In rich archival and technical detail, Yue examines three sites of technical film production: the film laboratory, editing practices, and the film archive. Within each site, she locates a common motif, the vanishing female body, which is transformed into material to be used in the making of a film. The book develops a theory of gender and film materiality through readings of narrative film, early cinema, experimental film, and moving image art. This original work of feminist media history shows how gender has had a persistent role in film production processes, well before the image ever appears onscreen.

'The first time I read Freya’s work I thought . . . uh oh. And then I thought, you have got to be kidding me. And then I thought, God fucking dammit. And then I walked around the house shaking my head thinking . . . OK – alright. And then – finally – I thought, well well well – like a smug policeman. Listen – she’s just the best. I’m going to say this so seriously. She is, unfortunately, the absolute best. Trying to write a clever blurb for her feels like an insult to how right and true and deadly this collection is. God, she’s just so good. She’s the best. She kills me always, every time, and forever.’ —Hera Lindsay Bird

Mathilde Monaque developed severe depression when she was just 14. The eldest in a family of six and an exceptionally bright and gifted little girl, the discovery shook her family to the core. Trouble in My Head is Mathilde's tender and illuminating account of her struggle to surface from a disease that could have taken her life. With remarkable sensitivity and lucidity she describes her experience of depression, her days in the teenage hospital and her battle to conquer the disease. Mathilde's perspective as a sufferer of teenage depression is unique. Unlike adult depression which involves feelings of guilt, Mathilde describes teenage depression as a breaking down of certainties, the fear of being oneself, the fear of not loving and of not being loved. Adults and teenagers alike will find inspiration and insight in her touching and remarkable account.

Sabine's lost her mind. Esmeralda’s found her body! In Paris, Esmeralda draws the beautiful and insane Sabine as the first mental patient to be assisted by their world. The relationship starts off uneasily, as the two girls bicker often over who should have charge of the physical body – Esmeralda, the newcomer helper and controller who makes it work, or the now helpless Sabine, who has owned it since birth! As these two delightful girls rob ATMs for spending cash, and quarrel their way around Paris and France, that which is happening in the background turns out to be the main game, in which they are merely pawns of the evil group planning for deathlessness, and perfecting the systems of the future. It is a terrible and violent future, in which the Human Race itself could be obliterated!

A thoroughly modern collection of poems by Sheri-D Wilson, a dazzling spoken word performer, theMama of Dada.' 'Girl's Guide to Giving Head' collapses convention in its search for the feminine - a strong beautiful universe of dreams and mythology that takes nothing for granted. Combining humour with pathos, it is an instructional manual for life; giving 'head' is the giving of 'ideas' about sex and love and ways of living. 'This work understands the importance of giving honour to the anima, the feminine spirit, in fact the Goddess'MF'
