Episode 22 | Let's Talk About: Feminist Film Theory w/ Kerwin Kuniyoshi
The Woman Beings sit down with industry professional and Berkeley film studies grad Kerwin Kuniyoshi to discuss feminist film theory. From Wonder Woman to It’s a Wonderful Life, Oceans 13, Psycho, Peeping Tom, Gravity, Pacific Rim... and even Transformers, hear how the portrayal and characterization of women has evolved throughout the years. While our favorite female directors - Ava Duverney, Patty Jenkins, Greta Gerwig, and others - have made incredible progress, have we truly made changes to the language of cinema? Or are we perpetuating the male gaze? The objectification of women? The oppression of non-whites? Listen in to hear some incredible discussions about some of your favorite films! Spoiler alert: Christian films are often some of the worst perpetrators.
