Centre Audiovisuel Simone De Beauvoir
Founded in 1982 by Carole Roussopoulos, Delphine Seyrig and Ioana Wieder, the mission of the Centre audiovisuel Simone De Beauvoir is to acquire audiovisual documents on women’s rights, the feminist struggle, and women’s art and creativity and to promote, curate and distribute the various materials. The website has a searchable database and sells a selection of DVDs but most of the material is available for viewing by appointment only at the centre’s premises.

The microsite Genrimages is the result of a project undertaken by the centre to provide online resources for use in the classroom about the rights of women and the depiction of gender roles in films and on television. A selection of interviews with feminist academics, journalists, writers and teachers considers sexual stereotypes and the way the sexes are represented in various media including television, films, video games and children’s literature. Accompanying these interviews are a range of resources including a glossary, timeline, a quiz on the history of women’s rights and links to resources on other sites.

The series seems not to have been updated since 2009 but what there is is of high quality, and most of the lectures are accompanied by notes and slides.

Paley Center for Media

The centre’s media collection contains over 160,000 television and radio programmes and advertisements, searchable through an online database which offers synopses, along with production credits for the programmes. Although most of the collection is not online there is, nonetheless, a lot of freely available interesting audiovisual content, made accessible via a selection of curated online exhibitions on the site’s Perspectives on the Collection page. This page feature hand-picked clips and programmes chosen by the centre’s curatorial team, which are presented with contextual essays and notes. The range of subjects covers the whole spectrum of US media history – particularly the post-war period – with interesting items on everything from the media’s role in the Cuban Missile Crisis, to a history and appreciation of Rod Serling’s classic science fiction series The Twilight Zone. There is also a YouTube channel with videos of events held at the centre, such as this interview with pioneering documentary filmmakers D A Pennebaker, Robert Drew and Albert Maysles.
