Hormonal
Dir. Pien van Grinsven
pienvangrinsven.com/about/
Inspired by her own personal experience and that of three other women, Pien Van Grinsven’s Hormonal uses the medium of dance to bring to light the invisible side effects that hormonal birth control can have on people. The twenty-two minute documentary observes a spectrum of physical and psychological effects and if you, like me, have used hormonal contraception at some stage in your life, the narrative will undoubtedly resonate. Hormonal is an evocative and intelligent piece of storytelling that enlightens with its authentic insights and mesmerises with its visual language of movement, all powerfully observed through the female gaze - S/W Curator, Serafima Serafimova
