What to do now

1. Decide on the texts. I'd use The Piano, Lost in Translation, Briget Jones' Diary.
2. Having read about what might constitute a "female" cinema - ie one which rejects or reflects the male gaze, you need to analyse the films to test out whether they might qualify. (Briget Jones won't, because she is a ditzy blonde stereotype who is structured as "incomplete" because of her lack of a man, but this will be a useful point of comparison).
3. What do women want from a film? Do women want to refuse the male gaze?
