A Film Studies Center Special Event
The world is awash in sexualized imagery, but that imagery rarely speaks to or captures the pleasurable reality of sex. Award-winning filmmaker Tony Comstock takes us into the legal and business realities that shape and often warp the sexual imagery we see. Drawing on examples from Hollywood’s history of self-censorship, landmark obscenity cases, and the collision of technology and image-making, Comstock offers an expanded framework for understanding of how what we do and do not see in cinema affects our understanding of our own sexuality
This event is FREE and open to the public.
