MIRROR MIRROR

2022, South Africa

Sandulela Asanda

MIRROR MIRROR is a coming-of-age film that shows a video call between 17-year-old Luthando and her best friend Jodie. Together they try to explore their sexuality – but Luthando doesn't quite succeed. In this film, Sandulela Asanda processes her own frustrating experiences as a young black girl who was taught in a girls' school that female desire is always shameful. The timely form of a video call between two charismatic female friends makes this film as entertaining as it is empowering.

Eine Person liegt auf der Seite, blickt mit sanftem Ausdruck leicht nach oben und ist in rosa und violettes Licht getaucht. Die Nahaufnahme hat eine träumerische, ätherische Atmosphäre.
