Brainwashed: Sex-Camera-Power (18) + Q&A with Nina Menkes

Nina Menkes’ compelling new documentary is a mesmerising visual journey through cinema’s sexist bloodstream, investigating the use of gendered techniques in filmmaking and how these impact the representation of women in society.
A deep dive into cinema history, using more than 175 film clips from Hollywood favourites and cult classics, from 1896 through to the present, as well as interviews with filmmakers and scholars, Brainwashed: Sex-Camera-Power reveals a sinister framework of misogyny and paternalism that, from early cinema to the present day, infiltrates some of our best loved films.
The screening on Sun 14 May, 15:00 will be followed by a Q&A with director Nina Menkes hosted by Reclaim the Frame, a charity with a mission to champion marginalised perspectives in cinema, and to advocate for equity, diversity, and inclusion in film by fostering a community for those who make, show, release and watch them.
