Girls Beware!

“Screentest of Superstar, shown in conjunction with Philosophy in the Bedroom features women performers with a seductive relationship to the camera who have the ability to reinvent themselves between the real and the fictional. The works of sexploitation filmmaker Doris Wishman are a blend of deep personal expression, gimmickry and convenience. Her themes of sexual fear, good girls gone bad, warped desire and various dystopic views of the body, power relations and domesticity are a compelling dark vision in the history of women’s experience. Girls Beware, by educational film auteur Sid Davis, is a melodramatic scare film -a girl’s advisory about the hazards of sexual activity.”
