LSFF 2019: Unvictiming

12 Jan 2019

After Hours, Dir. Jane Campion, Australia, 1984, 24 min

 
Recently, our cultural consciousness has become suffused with stories of sexual violence – women’s stories that span decades. Finally, we are listening and believing. Yet, largely careless and titillating depictions of rape and sexual violence continue to dominate – ELLE, Nocturnal Animals, Gone Girl. Unvictiming interrogates how we could (re)present sexual violence. 
 
Bringing together largely overlooked short films on the subject, Another Gaze: A Feminist Film Journal has selected a five decades-spanning series of short films on this subject as seen by women filmmakers. From Mendieta to Campion, this selection of work will be presented in context with a post-screening discussion. 86 minutes.
