Fifteen years after the first translations of Anglo-American feminist film theories, this gender approach is finding it hard to gain acceptance in France. The main reason is the elitist view of cinema d'auteur that is still prevalent in academic circles, where the art is seen as a genius's creation outside social determinations in general and gender relations in particular.However, under the influence of historians and sociologists, who dominate gender research in France, French work on film privileges a historical and sociocultural approach, whereas American research is dominated by psychoanalytical approaches. French gender analyses privilege the expression of dominant relations but also of contradictions at work in the films, whether popular or by an auteur-e, as well as in the stars' image or in tv fiction. Finally some research explores the changes brought about by the emergence of female film-makers on the French scene
