World sales: Slingshot Films

Adele Tulli’s formally straightforward and aesthetically convincing film document deals with rigid gender roles and uncritical submission to the dictates of (hetero)normativity. The director focuses the camera on everyday actions, rituals and scenes and makes some situations appear strange through a contradicting image-sound montage.
