- 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 womens experience.
Girls Beware, by educational film auteur Sid Davis, is a melodramatic
scare film -a girls advisory about the hazards of sexual activity.
