xena's body (a menstrual auto-investigation using an iphone) 2024

Directed by Occitane Lacurie

This doomscroll documentary explores the relationship between the iPhone screen and director‘s own body. Is this device the postmodern version of the small bathroom mirror used for self-exploration? Or is it much closer, not in front of but inside my body? “Out of my desire to wrest something from the vanity of doomscrolling and regain power over the data I give my phone, without even thinking about it, I've tried to document this field/counter-field that unites us and its strangeness.“
