ARTIST’S STATEMENT: I started looking for inspiration on nature TV shows, I saw one picture of a female man- tis standing on a tree branch, a dark velvety background behind her, staring at me with her big bug eyes. The whole scene had a dark sexual undertone – the flora and fauna in all its glory and disgust. The act itself fas- cinated me, explained by the all-knowing National Geo- graphic narrator, telling me about natural selection and proteins. Myths surrounding female sexuality are there to express basic fears of the unknown. I want to ap- proach the subject with a wink. Like the female mantis, I wanted to toy with the same stereotype I wish to devour.

Female* characters in film define the perception of women* and men* in society. Role models beyond traditional stereotypes offer different perspectives and encourage critical thinking in a world of diversity. It is important to create opportunities for artists who think beyond the stereotypes and support them in the process of creating, pitching and realizing their stories. 4 5 Competition 73 minutes 1 Screenings: Do. 12.3. 19:00 / Sa. 14.3. 17:00
