The documentary "Brainwashed" questions the impact of images on our understanding of gender, particularly the male gaze on women. Director Nina Menkes examines over 175 films to analyze systemic sexism in cinematic storytelling. "Brainwashed" deconstructs the Hollywood myth and highlights how visual language can promote discrimination and sexual violence. The screening will be followed by a discussion (in English) with the director, Nina Menkes (online), Madelaine Wood, a doctoral student at the University of Luxembourg, and Isabelle Schmoetten, director of the Centre d'Information et de Documentation Fraen an Gender. Moderation: Isabel Spigarelli. Direct oral translation from English to French is available upon request.
