The Disappearance of Shere HiteScreening for International Women's Day
Thursday 7th March 7:30pm and Saturday 9th March 1:30pm
at Theatre Royal, Castlemaine. Tickets $25 & $22 concession.
Shere Hite’s 1976 groundbreaking study of the intimate experiences of women, The Hite Report, remains one of the bestselling books of all time. The book challenged restrictive conceptions of sex and opened a dialogue in popular culture around women’s pleasure. But few remember Shere Hite today. What led to her erasure?
Digging into exclusive archives, as well as Hite’s personal journals and the original survey responses, filmmaker Nicole Newnham (Crip Camp, 2021 Best Feature Documentary Oscar® Nominee, Audience Award Winner: U.S. Documentary, 2020 Sundance Film Festival) transports viewers back to a time of great societal transformation around sexuality.
This special International Womens Day Screening is proudly co-presented by Castlemaine Documentary Festival & Theatre Royal.
