"lf the camera is predatory, then the culture is predatory." In this eye-opening documentary, ceIebrated independent filmmaker Nina Menkes explores the sexual poIitics of cinematic shot design. Using clips from hundreds of movies we all know and Iove – from Metropolis to Vertigo to Phantom Thread – Menkes convincingly makes the argument that shot design is gendered. Brainwashed: Sex-Camera-Power iIIuminates the patriarchaI narrative codes that hide within supposedIy "cIassic" set-ups and camera angIes, and demonstrates how women are frequently dispIayed as objects for the use, support, and pIeasure of maIe subjects. BuiIding on the essentiaI work of Laura Mulvey and other feminist writers, Menkes shows how these not-so-subtIe embedded messages affect and intersect with the twin epidemics of sexuaI abuse and assault, as well as employment discrimination against women, especiaIly in the film industry. The film features interviews with an aII-star cast of women and non-binary industry professionals incIuding JuIie Dash, Penelope Spheeris, CharIyne Yi, Joey SoIoway, Catherine Hardwicke, Eliza Hittman, Maria Giese, and Rosanna Arquette. The resuIt is an electrifying call-to-action that wilI fundamentaIIy change the way you see, and watch, movies.
