Abstract

Since the beginning of the new century, female directors have received increasing attention in the viewers' field of vision, and have become a bright landscape in the constant test of film works practice. In terms of the concept of spatial narration in film, it mainly refers to the activities of the characters in the film with the help of natural or artificially constructed space under the director's arrangement and guidance, in other words, all spatial perspectives are presented in the development of the film plot. Especially in today's increasing status of female directors, their works have a reasonable integration of spatial narrative with a unique female perspective, and among them, the space inside the scene, the space outside the scene and the imaginary space in the mind are the most frequently exited. Therefore, in this paper, the above three are the main objects of research and analysis, and the spatial narrative of female directors' films in the new century is explored in the hope that it can contribute to the development of China's film industry.
