This project addresses male violence against women through feminist filmmaking, indicating a need for deeper understanding.
This project has been developed from research generated by a 2020 faculty engagement grant received by me and VCA FTV colleagues Dr Angie Black and Siobhan Jackson. The applicants had been affected by male violence against women and children and wanted to explore a feminist filmmaker response to it. In this research grant collaboration, the question was raised —why? What is going on in the minds of the men who commit acts of violence against those they purport to love?
