Film/Video
Editing for "XX.XY"
A film by Emily Blaine
"Drawing inspiration from Lynda Benglis's "Female Sensibility," this film contrasts societal gender constructs, diving into the stereotypes and pressures imposed by society. Through the lens of VHS aesthetics reminiscent of Benglis's work, the film captures the raw authenticity of personal experiences. It explores the unique challenges and expectations faced by women, juxtaposing nostalgic home video effects with the stark reality of societal norms. Central to the film is the contrast of a male voice mail, symbolizing the external pressures and expectations imposed on women by a patriarchal society. This film challenges viewers to confront the societal constraints that shape and confine individuals based on gender.
