In a context in which cinema and audiovisual products continue to be transformed, based on new technologies, it has become more necessary to question how and what discourses are being reproduced through them. Likewise, in a society in which patterns that minimize and sexualize women and feminized bodies are still repeated, it becomes a priority to find perspectives and tools that go against it. For these reasons, the present study delves into how the American independent film movement, Mumblecore, has influenced the representation of female characters constructed under a female gaze. This is determined from the analysis of the protagonists of the most representative films of the movement: Funny haha (2002) and Frances Ha (2012). To achieve this, the studio applies a methodology of character analysis, under the statutes of Feminist Film Theory (FFT) and the analysis of themes that arise from the internal and external world of the protagonists. At the same time, the research analyzes the visual aesthetics and cinematographic codes proposed by each film. In this way, it opens the way to conclusions that highlight the difference between the two protagonists and how one of them is inscribed more in the female gaze than the other one and how effectively Mumblecore is presented as a kind of safe space for the female gaze to develop, evolve and expand.
