Brainwashed: Sex-Camera-Power plot

In her lecture 'Sex and Power: The Visual Language of Oppression', filmmaker Nina Menkes dissects the way in which the visual language of films is often an instrument of the heterosexual, male gaze. Images from that startling lecture form the framework of this documentary, illustrated with approximately 175 film clips and interviews with filmmakers such as Catherine Hardwicke and Julie Dash, and film theorist Laura Mulvey, whose famous essay on the male gaze forms the basis of Menkes' analysis. Using image fragments from various classics, Menkes demonstrates that women are systematically filmed differently than men.
