THE ILLUSIONISTS A film by Elena Rossini

The Illusionists examines how global advertising firms, mass media conglomerates, and the beauty, fashion, and cosmetic surgery industries are changing the way people around the world define beauty and see themselves. Taking us from Harvard to the halls of the Louvre Museum, from a cosmetic surgeon’s office in Beirut to the heart of Tokyo’s Electric Town, the film explores how these industries saturate our lives with narrow, Westernized, consumer-driven images of beauty that show little to no respect for biological realities or cultural differences. Features Jean Kilbourne, Susie Orbach, Laura Mulvey, Gail Dines, Susan Linn, and other prominent sociologists, politicians, magazine editors, scientists, artists, and activists in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

Now available GUYLANDon DVD! WHERE BOYS BECOME MEN Featuring Michael Kimmel

In this powerful new film based on his bestselling book, sociologist Michael Kimmel maps the troubling social world where boys become men — a new stage of development he calls “Guyland.” Arguing that the traditional adult signposts and cultural signals that once helped boys navigate their way to manhood are no longer clear, Kimmel provides an astonishing glimpse into a world where more and more young men are trying desperately to prove their masculinity to other young men — with frequently disastrous consequences for young women and other young men. Guyland offers a way for all of us — parents, young men and women, community members, and professors and administrators — to envision new ways to support young men as they navigate this often perilous world.
