VIVA LA VULVA
UK | 2023 | COLOUR| 13mins
Drama Comedy, Magic Realism
One day, Erika wakes up and her vulva starts talking to her! On the journey of shutting it up, she learns how to cherish her body.
Why is it always a taboo when it comes to women’s genital? Secondly, Why women don’t even know their own genitals well? Vulvas are inside our bodies. It’s hard for girls to see it, unless they’re making an active effort to see it. I couldn’t confidently point out all the names of the parts of the vulva until I was 20 years old, which caused some confusion in my life.
We can’t talk about loving ourselves, if we don’t even know our own body. I believe that comedy is the best approach for the audience, because it allow us to portray a taboo topic in a non-scary and direct way. This film to remind all the people with vulvas that it’s such a painful, but also magical and wonderful thing to have.

Viva la vulva. Cheers to the vulva.
