Upending the Male (Film) Gaze The Flytrap spoke to the community organizers diversifying film culture away from the whims of film bros.

GOOD MORNING!!! have you ever been condescended to by a film bro? Did you ever want cinephile culture to be less male? There are people working on that and @theamateurstake.bsky.social reported on it for us: theflytrap.beehiiv.com/p/upending-t...

Upending the Male (Film) Gaze The Flytrap spoke to the community organizers diversifying film culture away from the whims of film bros.

"Centering 'masculine' cinema removes opportunities for non-normative films to thrive or for other genres to be explored, limiting cinema’s expansion and diversity," writes @theamateurstake.bsky.social in today's Flytrap post. theflytrap.beehiiv.com/p/upending-t...

Upending the Male (Film) Gaze The Flytrap spoke to the community organizers diversifying film culture away from the whims of film bros.

Today's @theflytrapmedia.com is a piece about the tyranny of the filmbro—and the people fighting to make film more inclusive—from freelancer @theamateurstake.bsky.social!

I had the pleasure of editing this piece on fighting back against film bro culture online and in real life for @theflytrapmedia.com !!

Jannat is relatively new to freelancing, precisely the kind of writer we like to feature on @theflytrapmedia.com, because we like to provide professional opportunities to emerging writers like the editors who did the same for us in the past. Subscribing is a great way to enable us to keep doing it.

Upending the Male (Film) Gaze The Flytrap spoke to the community organizers diversifying film culture away from the whims of film bros.

Happy Flytrap Tuesday! This week, we have film critic Jannat Suleman exploring the limitations of male-centric film culture, and how diverse community organizers are trying to change the scene.

ICYMI: @freeblackgirl.bsky.social analyzed the Diddy trial outcome through a sex work decriminalization lens: theflytrap.beehiiv.com/p/if-we-valu...

Thank you so much to everyone who attended! Recording will be sent later today <3

This is something I explored in my @theflytrapmedia.com post on ASMR, what counts and porn, and what we should be learning from sex workers. (gift link!)
