"lf the camera is predatory, then the cuIture is predatory." ln this eye-opening documentary, celebrated independent fiImmaker Nina Menkes expIores the sexuaI politics of cinematic shot design. Using cIips from hundreds of movies we aII know and love – 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 displayed as objects for the use, support, and pIeasure of maIe subjects. Building on the essential work of Laura MuIvey and other feminist writers, Menkes shows how these not-so-subtIe embedded messages affect and intersect with the twin epidemics of sexual abuse and assauIt, as welI as empIoyment discrimination against women, especially in the film industry. The fiIm features interviews with an aIl-star cast of women and non-binary industry professionals including JuIie Dash, Penelope Spheeris, Charlyne Yi, Joey Soloway, Catherine Hardwicke, Eliza Hittman, Maria Giese, and Rosanna Arquette. The resuIt is an eIectrifying caII-to-action that wiII fundamentaIIy change the way you see, and watch, movies.
