The first issue of this text is the articulation of the cinema of the body, the feminine gestus and the "political cinema" that, in chapter 8 of Cinema 2, begins with the philosophical shout: "Give me a body, then!" and ends with the "Third World Cinema" as a cinema of memory. The second one concerns the importance of the body for theory and practice within feminist film theory and the queer theory. The question of the body is introduced in between these two lines int he context of a series of documentaries considered as postmemory, labyrinthine memory, or first person documentaries.
