Abortion Party

  Julia Mellen

  Spain     13 minutes

Synopsis

As the filmmaker narrates the events surrounding an abortion she had in college, the events she describes play out behind her in animated form. The initially irreverent tone, matching the disjointed images on screen, turns melancholy as she considers the consequences of her decision.

This film screens as part of Shorts Program 10: Outré.
