At last year's Sydney Underground Film Festival we screened a wildly wonderful array of creative and bold films by female directors from Australia and around the world. In light of International Women’s Day (March 8th), we have put together an impressive program celebrating women in film and made this screening available to you for only $2!* Please enjoy 20 films by female directors from now until March 14th!
*$2 covers the cost of the Eventive platform and a donation to Sydney-based women's refuge Lou's Place.
University student by day, escort by night, Andrea Werhun led a secret life under the alias “Mary Ann.” To her horror, Andrea discovers outrageous online reviews of Mary Ann's sexual performance written by self-proclaimed “hobbyists.” In this hybrid documentary, hobbyist and escort perspectives collide with hilarious and revealing results. And when the sex work narrative is controlled by johns, there are darker consequences than just a bad review. Modern Whore is a rare sex work narrative told and performed by the sex worker herself. The film is an adaptation of Modern Whore: A Memoir, the acclaimed illustrated art book created in collaboration with the film's director, Nicole Bazuin.
