MAGENTA

“Magenta” is a short film that follows a day in the life of Nana: the day her romantic relationship ends. The Camera, almost as a character itself, holds Nana by the hand while meeting women who will be significant to her emotional journey and will bring her to dig out her true feminist belief, until then covered up with the false credo, instilled in her since childhood, of the “strong woman who needs no man”.

Cool feminism tries to adjust women to the men’s world instead of making men’s world more appropriate.

Feminism has promoted the idea of the "strong and independent woman". Preserving autonomy has often been wrongly understood as being not too much dependent on anyone, as if being attached to one’s intimate partner (or to anyone else) entailed the loss of that same autonomy and independence. According to Illouz, an unintended consequence of some branches of feminism is making relationships “cool” by rationalising them and promoting radical individualism. Magenta wants to expose this problem and tell its audience that emotions are not a weakness and a threat to women achievements, and nor must be for men.

Only with your support Magenta will be able to reach the audience and draw attention to socially relevant topics such as emotions in relation to gender equality.

Magenta boasts a team composed mostly of students and young professionals, who work free of charge and out of passion.
Nevertheless, your support is indispensable to the funding of everything else around that:
1) Equipment and set design: the film will stylistically be an homage to Jean-Luc Godard, and so require camera and editing experimentations, as well as a huge amount of set designing work.
2) Catering: I don't want our amazing team to go hungry ;).
3) Locations.
