Join us in screening Brainwashed: Sex-Camera-Power as part of the annual Women Take The Reel Film Festival.

Brainwashed: Sex-Camera-Power is about the politics of cinematic shot design, and how this meta-level of filmmaking affects and intersects with the twin epidemics of sexual abuse/assault and employment discrimination against women, especially in the film industry. BRAINWASHED contains over 175 clips from A list movies from 1896-the present, as well as interviews with important women professionals including Laura Mulvey, Julie Dash, Penelope Spheeris, Rosanna Arquette, Charlyne Yi, Joey Soloway, Catherine Hardwicke, Eliza Hittman and many others.

The screening will take place on March 2nd at 7:00 PM. Discussion with filmmaker, Nina Menkes, to follow film. This event is free and open to the public.
