Viva La Vulva is a documentary film that casts a glance right into the centre of female sexuality – historically, culturally, and politically.
With a sense of humour, but earnestly and profoundly it examines this very symbol and indicator of women’s self-determination, a mystic source of life and anarchic threat to patriarchal systems.
From church to psychoanalysis: what women carry between their legs seems second-rate to the primacy of the penis.
But Viva La Vulva can also give hope to those awaiting a turn towards a self-determined female sexuality and a new, confident self-definition of women.
Not deadly serious, but with informative verve we tell the tale of the new self-awareness of the female sex.
