Monska - C. R. Robin
Description :
Often young children are portrayed as powerless, submissive and weak in film, I wanted to create a clip that explored the opposite of this; strength and power. In the clip, the six girls fearlessly perform in front of the judges, using hooks, jabs and kicks. They perform a shadow boxing routine. The work was fundamentally about the performativity of gender roles; presenting the girls in a stereotypical way and then breaking down these preconceived notions. Much of work is based on principles of diversity, inclusivity and gender parity, ideals that I believe are important in filmmaking. On the _Monska _film shoot 81% of our film crew identified as female or non-binary.
