Nina Menkes

Nina Menkes is a filmmaker whose works radically synthesize inner dream worlds with brutal outer realities. Her films have screened at major international film festivals, including Sundance, the Berlinale, Locarno, and Toronto. Menkes’s narrative films include Magdalena Viraga, Queen of Diamonds, and The Bloody Child, and all of her narrative works will be restored and made available on Blu-ray via Arbelos in 2023. Her documentary Brainwashed, which unpacks the male gaze in cinema history, was released by Kino Lorber in October. Photo by Ann Johansson
