Three directors, three women, one question: who gets to decide what womanhood means now?
A collection of three Portuguese short films by Ary Zara (Um Caroço de Avocado), Aurélie Oliveira Pernet (As Sacrificadas) and Pedro Cabeleira (By Flávio), which proposes different possibilities for being a woman nowadays.
Direction
Three wildly distinct visual languages, zero cohesion
Acting
Gaya de Medeiros commands every frame she's in
Cinematography
Cabeleira's segment especially—dreamy and invasive
Director
Ary Zara
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
All three directors emerged from Lisbon's queer cinema collective Giacometti, which explains the shared obsession with bodies in flux.
Oliveira Pernet cast her own grandmother as Otília; those uncomfortable silences between them are genuine family tension, not scripted.
