BRAINWASHED: Sex-Camera-Power premiere at Sundance Film Festival & Berlinale Panorama Section
Brainwashed is based on director Nina Menkes's cinematic presentation, Sex and Power, the Visual Language of Cinema, that uses film clips by A-list directors from the 1940s through to the present, to show how the visual grammar of cinema contributes to conditions that create discriminatory hiring practice, pay inequity and a pervasive environment of sexual harassment in the film industry and beyond. Director Inka Rusi has been working closely with Menkes from the onset of the film as a creative producer.
The film will have its European Premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival Panorama Section.
