Over the next few days at sea the boat developed “two or three” mechanical faults, which were fixed by a crew of between 8-10 people. Traffickers had promised ample room on the vessel, but once passengers arrived at the scheduled departure point and saw it was overcrowded it was impossible to turn back, those sources said. They booked their voyage on social media, according to a maritime ministry official. Based on some accounts, there were about 20 women and children among the passengers. Passengers paid $4,500 for passage to Italy, the two Greek sources said. Two Greek sources familiar with police inquiries say that, based on accounts from about 30 survivors, the aging fishing vessel left Tobruk, in Libya, early on June 10.

The event, hosted by the TFT Department of Film, Television and Digital Media, will begin with a reception at 6 p.m., followed by the screening at 7 p.m. The film features interviews with an all-star cast of women and non-binary industry professionals including Rosanna Arquette, Julie Dash and Catherine Hardwicke. Menkes shows how these not-so-subtle embedded messages are tied to sexual abuse and assault in Hollywood. The film illuminates the patriarchal narrative codes that hide within supposedly “classic” set-ups and camera angles and demonstrates how women are frequently displayed as objects for the use, support and pleasure of male subjects. Using clips from hundreds of movies - from “Metropolis” to “Vertigo” to “Phantom Thread” - Menkes makes the argument that shot design is gendered. Join the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television for a special screening of “Brainwashed: Sex-Camera-Power,” independent filmmaker Nina Menkes’ documentary about the sexual politics of cinematic shot design, at the James Bridges Theater.
