We might connect this with changing conditions and technologies of production that made synch sound recording cheaper and more accessible for artisan filmmaking. as well as women artists having a special interest in women saying things as well as looking at things.  The modes of silent, sound, and synch sound in experimental film also play a part.  For example, we see a lot of Jane Brakhage in her husband’s work, but do we ever hear her?
