It implies that the filmmaker is actively involved in feminist politics and the film conclusion is somewhat feminist. Though indicates that there's a shift in the second part. What word would be a close opposite to implication, out of all the choices, antedated is the best fit. This means that though the conclusion of the film is somewhat feminist, the film preceded the filmmaker's active involvement in feminist politics.

First off, when you see a date in a SE or TC question in the GRE, you should regard the possibility of it being a time clue. This is the case 85% of the time.
Here 1974 acts as an adjective to "film", so the date of the film becomes important. It also acts as a time clue, and so we must watch out for events before and after that particular date.
Next the structural clue "though" implies that we must anticipate the unexpected.
Putting all this together, we can say that the 1974 film with its feminist implications would have started the film maker's journey towards feminist politics.
But because of "though", it is most likely to have happened the other way.
Therefore, the 1974 film must have happened before her active involvement in feminist politics.
The answer is antedated.
