Sophia Wallace Instagram – The Disappearance of Shere Hite is now streaming. 📺 🗄️🔥
To recap, 5 reasons to watch this film now:
1. The story! ☕️ 🫖 Tea is served and its piping hot.
2. The aesthetics! Shot by cinemagrapher @rosefromthewoods the film is a stylistic marvel, interweaving a library of portraits by photographers like @irisbrosch that tell the story of an intellectual who was iconically femme, in a world that both demanded and derided it.
3. The archive! Shere Hite was fastidious in her record keeping. She required a tape copy of all TV appearances she gave. Posthumously and through the meticulous work of @ericafink and @kim.ferdinando these materials fell into the most capable hands of @nicolenewnham and @eileenmmmm the rest is @sundanceorg history.
4. The dangers of cancel culture! If the author of ‘the 40th most successful book of all time’ can be disappeared from cultural memory in their own life time, how do we protect the radical ideas, especially from marginalized thinkers, from suffering the same fate?
5. The chance to explore the span of Hite’s ideas and to decide for ourselves if they reflect a screaming silence of prohibited truth or if they are baseless arguments pulled from fake data.
