Als Kind wurde Minh Anh Nguyễn sexuell missbraucht. Mit ihrem 47-minütigen Essayfilm versucht sie, diesen schwierigen Teil ihres Lebens in Worte zu fassen, das Unsagbare auszusprechen und durch die Reflexion und Projektion der filmischen Praxis ein Gefühl für das eigene Selbst zurückzugewinnen. Die Filmemacherin offenbart dabei intime Gespräche mit ihrer Mutter und versucht, den schmerzhaften Prozess zu bewältigen, dieses Trauma an die Öffentlichkeit zu bringen. Mit einer zerbrechlichen Intimität bewegt sich der Film zwischen Fiktion, Archivmaterial und Dokumentation, auf der Suche nach einer Sprache, um das Vergangene auszudrücken und die Zukunft anzunehmen.
Beschreibung (en)
As a child, Minh Anh Nguyễn was sexually abused. Her 47-minute essay film is an attempt to put words to this difficult part of her life, to speak the unspeakable and regain a sense of self through the reflection and projection that the act of filmmaking allows. Her film reveals intimate conversations with her mother and tries to overcome the difficult process of making this trauma public. It navigates through a wounded intimacy between fiction, archive footage and documentary in search of a language to articulate the past and embrace the future.
