Abstract

The article presents a literature review about the American filmmaker Mary Ellen Bute. In light of the approach proposed by the Filmmakers’ Theory (Penafria et al., 2015, 2016, 2017, 2020), we intend to verify possible research paths based on the writings, interviews, and process documents produced by the artist herself and made available by the Beinecke Library, Yale University's manuscript repository. Thus, this text is dedicated to mapping and reviewing Bute’s bibliography and other relevant research sources, seeking to articulate theoretical and methodological bases for the development of future studies on a still little-recognized filmmaker.
