The Choking Game (2014)

В первой же сцене этого документального фильма героиня из Ростока уверенно указывает на место, где, по её словам, во времена существования ГДР обычно встречались геи. «А где же в Ростоке встречались лесбиянки?» – задают ей вопрос. Та в ответ заливисто хохочет: «Я бы тоже хотела это знать!» На самом деле таких мест – особенно за пределами больших городов – в ГДР почти не было. Лесбиянки жили в условиях тотальной информационной изоляции. Фильм Барбары Валльбраун состоит из шести историй. Шесть женщин откровенно рассказывают о том, как влюблялись, как боролись с давлением общества и семьи, как находили и поддерживали друг друга.

Filmed and edited entirely in isolation, Living in Fear is an educational and inspiring documentary directed by myself, Stephanie Castelete-Tyrrell, a disabled filmmaker as I capture the fears and struggles disabled people faced before the government implemented the lockdown on the 23rd March 2020. Thousands of people with disabilities were left in the dark and had to make the call weeks before to lockdown as it was inevitable that we would die if we caught the virus. Food was impossible to access because we couldn't go out or get delivery slots, and even if we did panic buyers made it impossible to get the items we desperately needed. We were truly isolated, unable to have family and friends visit. Having carers coming in and out of the house was risky and many disabled people felt that having basic care was putting their lives at risk.

But on the flip side, South Korea also has one of the highest suicide rates in the developed world, the highest gender pay gap of all developed countries, and the highest plastic surgery rate per capita. Always expected to receive top scores and constantly bombarded by media and messages that seem to demand nothing short of visual “perfection,” how do these individuals come to accept and learn to love themselves as they are?
