Drawing on an analysis of Uzbekistani films produced after 2000, Almira Tabaeva examines how cinematic narratives construct and contest women’s roles within the tensions of tradition and modernity. Critiquing the male gaze that frames women as traditional archetypes bound by societal expectations, she highlights the potential of cinematic storytelling to challenge these narratives and reimagine women’s agency in contemporary Uzbekistan.
Almira Tabaeva, a PhD candidate from Uzbekistan, specializes in gender studies through the lenses of postcolonial and decolonial feminist theories.
This short film analysis was developed as part of the feminist research initiative by the maqaal collective, supported by the British Council’s Creative Collaborations programme.
