“The Wedding Cake” meets students in Lecce!

Posted on by

I am really proud The Wedding Cake is going to screened at the Lecce Film Festival whenever that is going to take place, after the health restrictions!

In the meanwhile, I am extremely excited that I will be meeting girls and boys from a local school in Lecce next week, online, to talk about my ideas about filmmaking and art in general.

This is really cool, I very much look forward to this, especially because I am very fond of this festival, where my first narrative short, “Midsommar”, was selected back in 2014! The Lecce Film Festival was actually the first festival I ever traveled to, and I will never forget that.

A new piece for “Nordic Model Now”

Posted on by

During the latest Göteborg Film Festival I watched a feature film by the Swedish directress Ninja Thyberg which made both furious and sad. I am very proud that Nordic Model Now hosted this very long piece about it which I just felt compelled to write.

It is not at all about the film as such (which I appreciated) but about the content and its message.

I want to thank Vanessa McCulloch who was editing the first draft of this piece.

The deception of “Pleasure”

Ninja Thyberg’s film “Pleasure” depicts a quite simple story: a 19-year old girl from Sweden travels to Los Angeles in order to become a porn star. She starts with more traditional performances but realizes that if she wants a break-through she must do more extreme scenes; so, she agrees to BDSM and double anal, with apparent indifference. The only time she feels violated is during a shoot where the male actors are very aggressive and she reacts showing emotional distress. Continue reading →

“The Wedding Cake” at the 2021 Brussels Independent Film Festival!

Posted on by

A very sweet piece of news with a bitter taste at the end: The Brussels Independent Film Festival has selected The Wedding Cake for the 2021 festival, but due to the Belgian COVID-19 situation and government regulations, the festival team has decided to postpone the 2021 edition by a year, making the 2022 a double edition with double screenings!
In the meanwhile, however, an international jury will rate this year’s official selection and winners will be announced on 12 February. So fingers crossed!

“The Wedding Cake” at the FIPADOC!

The festival rain continues! This time the French FIPADOC – Festival International Documentaire, that focuses on documentaries.

While the part dedicated to trade professionals only is currently taking place online, the regular festival screenings are delayed until further notice due to the current pandemic situation.

When the actual festival starts in Biarritz, “The Wedding Cake” will have the great honor of being screened during the closing ceremony event!

The Wedding Cake at the Ibiza Cinefest!

New selection for The Wedding Cake! The festival dates are still not clear, as the pandemic still makes it wholly uncertain, but sooner or later the Ibiza Cinefest will take place and I am very proud and happy to be participating to a such a high-profile festival!

A call for female feminist artists!

FEMALE FEMINIST CREATORS WANTED!

I am going to complete my animated documentary about prostitution and pornography “Silent Flesh” (of which The Wedding Cake is a pilot) by June this year, and I am looking for creative women and girls (or collectives of women and girls!) from all over the world to join me.
If you are a female creator in any field (from painting to knitting, from dancing to composing, from acting to textile dyeing) and you believe female bodies shall not be sold for sex, please get in touch with me.
This project does not have a rich budget but there will be a small monetary compensation for the participants. Artists will maintain the ownership of the copyright of their artworks, they will only permit me to use it in the film.

To learn more about the project please download the PDF!

Please contact me at mollybloomprod [ at ] gmail.com and to present your work, by January 31st, 2021, thank you!
