One man’s art, one small word and the place we all come from are explored in this provocative documentary…

The film

Cunts The Movie is currently in pre-production.

This documentary aims to play on broadcast television, screen at film festivals and be available on DVD through internet sales. While aimed at as broad an audience as possible, the documentary would suit arts and social interest broadcast programs and appeal to social justice, feminist and queer focused festival circuits.

We are seeking both production funding and broadcaster interest. Broadcasters, please contact the filmmakers for a progress report.

The inspiration

Australian artist Greg Taylor encounters controversy and intense interest when he stages his exhibition of porcelain sculptures of 140 women’s genitals.

Cunts The Movie charts the journey of the sculptural exhibition ‘Cunts and Other Conversations’, documenting both the public’s responses and some of the subjects’ reasons and responses to being sculpted. Cunts the Movie expores the effects of the censorship of women’s genitals and how the word ‘cunt’ – once just a factual word to refer to a woman’s pubic area – became the foulest swear word in the English language.

As the artist Greg Taylor asks, “How did we come to be afraid of the place we all come from?”
