Focus on
Laura Mulvey presents
Scholar and filmmaker Laura Mulvey — best known for shaping the notion of "male gaze" — presents a selection of movies on LaCinetek. This carte blanche is organized in partnership with “Close-up : Laura Mulvey” at Bozar.
“Given the context of the relation between women and film, I decided to divide my selection into two parts. One part celebrates a few of the women who, struggling against discrimination and marginalisation, managed to become film directors in the hostile world of male dominated cinema. The other part celebrates some male directors whose vision and understanding produced moving and revealing ‘portraits’ of very differing women characters.”
