Author: Fiona Handyside

Fiona Handyside is a Senior Lecturer in Film Studies and French at University of Exeter. Her major current research interest is in how films map out various stages of the female lifecycle, and in particular how the figure of the girl is used to articulate a whole series of questions concerning feminism, postfeminism, and questions of female ‘progress’. She is working on a book length project on Sofia Coppola, to be published with I.B.Tauris, and co-editing International Cinema and the Girl: Local Issues, Transnational Contexts, to be published by Palgrave. She is the author of Cinema at the Shore: The Beach in French Film (Peter Lang, 2014, forthcoming) and Eric Rohmer: Interviews (University of Mississippi Press, 2013).
