FEMALE (2025)
FEMALE offers a bold reimagining of the myth of a woman who was both beloved and controversial, dynamic and trapped, a symbol of empowerment and a product of a deeply conservative society. The film seeks to deconstruct Alice's carefully crafted image, a symbolic figure in film and theater, in search of the true personality hidden behind her persona. At the same time, it brings to the forefront issues of gender, feminism, and queer experience, connecting them to the cultural and social structures that shaped her public image.
Adopting a multilayered narrative style, FEMALE plays with the boundaries between reality and construction, combining various perspectives and storytelling techniques. The film captures the internal conflict of a woman who was constantly negotiating her image, while also highlighting her position in the male-dominated cultural and cinematic landscape of her time.
Beyond the personal story, FEMALE serves as a broader commentary on the concept of the star, female identity, and the ongoing negotiation between the true self and public image. Set against a social backdrop that spans from post-war Greece to the modern era, the film emphasizes the timeless tensions that shape female figures in pop culture, reevaluating them through a contemporary, critical lens.
