VODKA & TENA LADY eau the parfum - The sequel

VODKA & TENA LADY eau the parfum - The sequel

2021 • 1 min • Italy
👁️ 215
An eccentric Dominatrix wears a macro-skirt made of her grandmother's clothes sewn together. She walks her adored slaves through the streets of the city: the shots are slow-camera and the music fawns as in a perfume advertisement. The dominatrix and her chained slaves overturn stereotypes of gender and representation of love through gestures of consensual submission and mutual affection. "V&TL eau de parfum - the sequel" is a parody of romantic and often toxic love sold to us by marketing. The short film is part of the cross-media project “Vodka & Tena Lady”, created in 2010 through 2018 with the participation of Grandma Giulia. Some of the clothes that belonged to her, have been used to make the macro-skirt, assembled in the initial making-of scenes. AWARDS:

Birds are the bearers of omens in ancient Rome. When a chicken lands in Livia's lap, she knows good things are coming her way. She marries the Emperor Augustus, lives the beautiful life hosting fabulous dinner parties, wearing elegant dresses, surrounded by great art, drinking wine, afternoons spent at the baths and all the while plotting to make her son, Tiberius, the next emperor. It is alleged that she poisoned a few people who stood between her son and the throne. That includes Augustus. "Livia, the Frescoed Lady" is musical parody with lyrics inspired by "Lydia, the Tattooed Lady." Utilizing an elastic sense of time, Livia charms all and we root for her to succeed. It's politics, historical and hysterical. AWARDS:

Each has different feelings, different lives, different everything, but they sing the same spell. One night, Aroma and Shiny, who have only known each other a short time, are hard at work on a new construction project. "What kind of child were you?" Aroma, who grew up in an orphanage, asked Shiny such a question. The two shared memories of their childhood. It was an irreplaceable "escape" and a time of peace for them as children. The spell they sang as children is evoked. And ”Destiny” is in motion. Music, directing, script writing, producing, editing, performance, singing, arranging, costume coordination, hair and makeup, etc. were all done by AKISAI. AWARDS:
