Body Scans
short experimental film
'Body Scans' is a self-portrait of the filmmaker's relationship with her period and living with endometriosis, a chronic illness predominately affecting women. Endometriosis is a common condition that remains poorly understood and difficult to treat, leaving many women feeling simultaneously invaded and neglected by the medical system. Here, the private becomes public and the invisible is opened to scrutiny. The film is a moving collage, juxtaposing medical scans, doctor's notes, and photographs to reveal the spaces left unreconciled between data and bodily experience.
