Biography
Adriana Monti was born in 1951 and has been making independent feminist films since the late 1970s.[3] Much of her filmmaking is collaborative. She began her career in the context of a larger feminist movement in Italy of the 1970s.[3] For her 1983 film Sculoa senza fine (School without End), she put together a group of amateur women to make the film.[3] The group of former housewives had completed a 150 hour secondary school diploma course in 1976 and did not want to stop learning after it ended.[4] With the help of their teacher, they formed a study and research group. Monti shot the film about them from 1979–1981, with the first half of it being made collectively by the group. It was completed in 1983.[4]
In 1986, Monti made a documentary called Fino a catena about the conditions of female textile workers.[3]
