Dollhouse 2022

Directed by Sotiria Papantoniou

The short film "dollhouse" was completed exclusively through editing preexisted images and sounds, which have been picked up mostly by narrative and documentary films and YouTube videos, such as music videos, recordings of plastic surgeries and reportages, while the audio file was constructed heavily from industrial sounds. Its central theme concerns the predetermined beauty standards which are imposed by the western society on women. A fundamental aesthetic and thematic purpose of the film is the provocation of intense, disturbing and shocking feelings through the graphic images, the inconvenient sounds and the audiovisual repetitions.
