On Sex, Cinema And The Female Gaze By Kate Hagen
Is Hollywood keeping up with the changing mores of contemporary sexuality? In a time of simultaneous sex positivity and panic, we wanted to investigate how moviemakers are handling our country’s sexual reawakening—especially when it comes to female sexuality on the big screen. So we tapped Franklin Leonard—founder of the Black List, Hollywood’s heralded community of screenwriters and script buyers—for some help. What follows is a titillating survey of sex, cinema and the female gaze by the Black List’s director of community, Kate Hagen. Accompanying Hagen’s words: three never-before-published illustrations by artists exploring the act of sex, hand-selected by digital gallerist Love Watts.
