MUSLIMWOMENFILM DATASET

MUSLIMWOMENFILM is a Horizon2020-funded interdisciplinary project that identifies a new object of study, Muslim women’s auto/biographical filmmaking, and maps the factors that make it distinctive within women’s and feminist cinema. As part of the project, this dataset of 290 auto/biographical film titles made by Muslim women filmmakers from Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Turkey from the 1980s to date was created. The date of 1980 is significant of the advent and broad availability of video technologies, which facilitated independent filmmaking, new topics, wider audiences and exhibition, and the global emergence of a greater number of women filmmakers. The data was drawn from scholarly studies, industrial reports, governmental and non-governmental bodies, film festivals, and filmmakers’ websites. The resulting dataset includes essential data for each film, and categorizes them under a number of headings, selected to highlight important features of the films and of their auto/biographical approach. The categorization is discussed in the related text file. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No 837154.MUSLIMWOMENFILM是一项由地平线2020（Horizon2020）资助的跨学科项目，该项目确立了全新研究对象——穆斯林女性自传/传记电影创作（auto/biographical filmmaking），并厘清了其在女性电影与女性主义电影领域独具特色的核心要素。作为该项目的组成部分，本数据集收录了1980年代至今，来自巴基斯坦、伊朗、阿富汗、孟加拉国与土耳其的穆斯林女性电影创作者执导的290部自传/传记电影作品名录。1980年这一时间节点具有特殊研究意义：该年正值影像技术问世并得到广泛普及，为独立电影创作、新题材拓展、受众覆盖与放映渠道扩容，以及全球范围内更多女性电影创作者的涌现提供了重要支撑。本数据集的素材源自学术研究、行业报告、政府与非政府机构、电影节及电影创作者官方网站。数据集涵盖每部作品的核心信息，并按照多个预设分类维度进行归类，这些分类维度的设置旨在突出影片及其自传/传记创作手法的关键特征，相关分类逻辑将在配套文本文件中详述。本项目获欧盟地平线2020研究与创新计划资助，依据玛丽·斯克沃多夫斯卡-居里（Marie Skłodowska-Curie）资助协议No 837154。
