THIS WEEK on Feminist Magazine with host Lynn Harris Ballen : FIRST … How is our culture shaped by the ways that movies are made? And are we affected by the actual visual language of cinema that disembodies and diminishes women in movies?
Director Nina Menkes’ new documentary BRAINWASHED: SEX-CAMERA-POWER is a powerful answer that explores the sexual politics of cinematic shot design, with hundreds of clips from iconic movies and interviews with an all star cast of industry professionals. The result is an electrifying call-to-action that will change the way you see, and watch, movies.
THEN … for LGBTQ history month – we explore the expansion of gender identity and presumed roles in our society. Taking a look beyond the socially constructed ideas of what is male, female, masculine or feminine. With all the rightwing attempts to redefine gender as solely based on a person’s genitalia at birth – Transgender, Intersex and Non-Binary Identities are threatened. What does it mean when people challenge societal expectations, and how are communities responding to the potential threat of erasure?
