Brainwashed
With academic rigour and creative passion, filmmaker Nina Menkes dissects the production line of Hollywood image making and the real world impacts of the male gaze in cinema.
Expanding on her 2020 talk, “Sex & Power: The Visual Language of Cinema", Menkes encourages all audiences to confront and interrogate our cinematic diet and how toxic imagery has real world consequences.

Chapter, Cardiff - Friday 12 May, 18:00 - Moderated by Sarah Gregory
PLUS, we're also heading to Cardiff for a #ReclaimTheFrame post-screening panel discussion that celebrates how filmmakers of marginalised genders are doing things differently - subverting the male gaze through feminist and queer perspectives.
Our Sarah Gregory will be in conversation with Writer, Director, Producer & Lecturer Rachel Dax (LezDiff) and Senior Lecturer BA Film & Media Laura Stephenson (University of South Wales) to chat about how filmmakers are expanding the lens, offering an antidote to the works featured in BRAINWASHED and to the cinematic diet we’ve grown up on.
