ABOUT

The film provides a compelling and creative account of the manner in which surveillance, including surveillance technologies, are complicit in our internalisation of gender norms. The film weaves together a performance of everyday life under surveillance, academic and artist narratives that explore the psychosocial meanings of surveillance.I was particularly impressed by the professional quality of the film and its artistic character – in particular with regards to the inclusion of symbolic elements such as the yellow surveillance hoodie that is present throughout the film (either in plain sight or lurking in the corner). The film provides a rich multifaceted account of how surveillance impacts everyday life paying particular attention to our gendered and sexualised selves and as such makes an intriguing contribution to debates surrounding gender identity.
