Thank you! I hope that with documentaries like 'Brainwashed' raising awareness of these problems, we will start to see a shift in attitudes towards female-led films.
That was fascinating and thought provoking. Very keen to see Menkes’s documentary now, as well as the Joanna Hogg. Thank you for taking the time to write it up so well!
There's so much that could be said about all I've read here. I remember watching a live video on feminism in horror films that was very interesting. Its was part of a local film festival here, and it discussed how most women are still portrayed in horror: as victims with no agency. Its slowly changing, but there is a problematic relationship between violence and sex that needs to be addressed. I mean, why do we need those scenes of women being murdered while having a bath, changing clothes or sleeping in their underwear? Brainwashed is not available here, but I got The Eternal Daughter on Stremio.
A powerful indictment of an industry in which women are under-represented and under-appreciated. Well done.
