Overview
Maya, 28, has to face it: she can’t carry a child. However, a miracle happens: she gets pregnant. It’s most likely her only chance, yet she hesitates. With a clever lightness, Naturally deals with the intimate conflict of a modern woman, between her strive for freedom and the weight of maternal responsibilities. A feminist film engaging with the gender: what does it take to be a woman and not a man?

This experimental short film explores the reconstruction and recollection of traumatic events through fragmented memories, using a non-linear narrative and a layered visual approach. The film emphasizes the penetration of montage, with an anarchic and chaotic tone that reflects both fun and disorder. The film brings to life concerns about how a woman moves, how she speaks, dreams, and how she is stripped of her inherent qualities by a society which continues to sexualize and harmfully perceive her. It visualizes a recollection of thoughts, dreams and memories, symbolically intertwining the characters experiences of their conscious with their subconscious.

“I ask my mother about her past feminist commitment, and why she made a child on her own. She doesn’t answer me. I want to pierce the mystery of my mother. I discover the women’s movement of the 1970s, an activist feminist cinema, and the woman filmmaker that I am changes. I meet and testify to the transmission of a memory of feminist struggles through collective cinematographic practices.” Anna Salzberg
