Birth Controlled / Reproduktivno nadzorovana

Isa Fraga-Abaza (Digital Arts and Animation Pratt Institute)
2024, USA, 05'00''

A visceral response to a lifetime of medical neglect, patriarchal control, and the systemic failure to treat vaginas as vital organs essential to health and well-being. The film reflects the author’s deep frustration and loss of autonomy experienced over their own body.

Silovit odziv na vseživljenjsko medicinsko zanemarjanje, patriarhalni nadzor in sistemsko nezmožnost obravnavati vagino kot ključen organ za zdravje in dobro počutje. Film odraža avtoričino globoko frustracijo in izgubo avtonomije nad lastnim telesom.
