– Astra Taylor, Department of Sociology SUNY New Paltz
WET DREAMS AND FALSE IMAGES, 12 min.
(Winner: Sundance Film Festival, ALA/ YALSA Award)
Exposes the art of digital photo-retouching. How do images of perfect female beauty influence men’s perceptions of real women? And, how we see ourselves?
THE GUARANTEE, 11 min.
(Winner: Best Short Film – Newport International Film Festival)
Teasing, self-perception, cultural identity, and plastic surgery. How would changing our bodies to try to fit an image alter the way we see ourselves? — Or even who we are? A dancer’s hilarious story about his prominent “Italian” nose and the effect it has on his career.
34x25x36, 8 min.
(National PBS Broadcast on POV)
A look at mannequins, religion and perfection. Enter the inner workings of the Patina V Mannequin Factory and see what goes into making “the ideal woman of the moment” — in plastic.
“Recommended for academic and public libraries, Body Typed is an excellent instructional and discussion resource for communication, media, psychology, and gender curricula.-“Educational Media Reviews Online
