In the aftermath, as she struggles to make sense of what happened, she decides to make a film about the relationship between her own experience and the tangle of political, legal, and cultural questions that surround issues of sex and consent. Using a hidden camera, filmmaker Nancy Schwartzman goes head-to-head with the man who assaulted her, recording their conversation in an attempt to move through the trauma of her experience and achieve a better understanding of the sometimes ambiguous line between consent and coercion. The result is a powerful documentary about the terrible personal reality of rape and sexual violence -- and the more complicated and ambivalent ways sexual assault is often framed and understood in the wider culture.</o:p></span></p><p class="Clarissa"><span style="font-size: 10pt; "><o:p>Discussion with director Nancy Schwartzman to follow</o:p></span></p><p class="Clarissa"><span style="font-size: 10pt; "><o:p>*Film will be screened with English subtitles*</o:p></span></p><p class="Clarissa"><span style="font-size: 10pt; ">*ASL interpreters will be present*<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="Clarissa"><span style="font-size: 10pt; "><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="Clarissa"><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; ">9. </span></b><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; ">Panel, "Collaboration in Invention" <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="Clarissa"><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; ">When:</span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; "> Wednesday, April 28, 6:30 - 8 pm<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="Clarissa"><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; ">Where:</span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; "> 56-154<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="Clarissa"><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; ">More Information: <a href="http://gsc.mit.edu/gwamit/events/spring2010.html"><span style="color: rgb(38, 80, 170); font-weight: normal; ">http://gsc.mit.edu/gwamit/events/spring2010.html</span></a></span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; "><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="Clarissa"><span style="font-size: 10pt; "><o:p>Collaboration is essential for the success of many ideas, inventions and start-ups.
