Best Short Documentary – Chain Film Festival

"An intriguing watch…" — Film Inquiry
"Exhilarating…"  — Filmlöwin
"A transformative depiction of a type of movement that otherwise has negative connotations…"  — Film Threat

The image is familiar: women on a pole, moving to driving music, framed as spectacle. My Erotic Body begins there, then removes the frame. No men, no audience—only women dancing for one another.

​

In this space, the same gestures and costumes take on a different meaning. What is typically coded as objectification becomes something else: a shared exploration of erotic embodiment, shaped from within rather than imposed from outside.

Run Time: 51 minutes
