Synopsis
Available in Docs for Sale after the world premiere at IDFA.
With Embodied Chorus two filmmakers ignite a collaborative exploration about living with Sexually Transmitted Infections. Danielle filmed herself to understand how “her” disease interferes with her body in raw, violent, and melancholic images. Moe plays with visual and sensual memory of a “sick body's” transformation. As they engage with 5 actresses and actors to embody the testimonies of individuals who also lived with STIs, a cinematic dialogue on intimacy, bodies, stigma and shame gives space for “forbidden” narratives to exist.
