5202
12-16-2024
5202 created during the 2024 elections, examines the visceral and political intersections of abortion rights and the profound impact on women’s bodies. The short film uses Sergei Eisenstein’s theory of montage to create an emotional impact on the viewers.
The visual imagery challenges the viewer to confront not only the societal implications of these laws but also the deeply personal, often invisible experiences of women.
In its chaotic juxtaposition, the film was filmed in different spaces that represent my identity and my reaction to living in a society where authority takes control over women’s bodies.
