Manifest

An intimate statement about the filmmaker’s need for self-expression through her own nudity and simultaneously an effort to reject the taboo of patriarchal society. Using diary entries, anger-filled personal reflections, and discussions with a mother painting her nude daughter, the film opens the topic of overcoming shame for one’s own physicality and female sexuality. „Manifest, is a very personal film, getting closer to understanding me, and my mother's czech background. I have always wished for it, to be shown in Moravia, Czechia, where my mother grew up.“ A. Rytter
