Toxic Akipleša

Saule Bliuvaite / Lithuania / 2024 / 99 min / Lithuanian

Dreaming of escape from the bleakness of their hometown, two thirteen-year-olds enter a local modelling school, where the promise of a better life pushes girls to violate their bodies in increasingly extreme ways.

IMDb

Thirteen-year-old Marija, entrusted to her grandmother in the Lithuanian countryside, is new at school and mocked for her limp. A modelling school is popular among the schoolgirls, who are willing to do anything it takes to meet insane body-weight criteria – skipping meals, inducing vomiting, ingesting tapeworm eggs – and to find money to pay for a required photo session that promises careers in Paris and New York. Kristina is scammed into participating in the scheme, and despite their initial confrontation, Marija sees Kristina as a kindred spirit and enrols herself in the modelling course, bringing them closer together. But is pushing yourself to toxic, physical extremes really the ticket to a better future?

“Through the story of young girls navigating toxic landscapes, I wanted to explore the concept of the human body – the body as a project, currency, an object of desire, the body as a source of pain and magic.” (Saule Bliuvaite)

Venom Gift

Knud Leif Thomsen

Thomsen’s Danish-style Teorema (1968) predating Pasolini’s is as double-edged as its title (gift meaning both “poison” and “married”). The director conceived it as a polemical tract against pornography and the moral decay of Danish society. But by filling it with nudity and hardcore snippets, he ironically paved the way for a censorship-free Denmark, which in 1969 became the first country to legalize pornography. The censors covered the explicit scenes with thick white crosses (making them somehow even more obscene). And it is precisely on such a historical 35mm print that we will have the pleasure to see the film!

The first lady of French porno chic, Brigitte Lahaie, returns in the original instalment of the cheeky fan favourite Six Swedish Girls at a Boarding School—taking place before the young Swedes found employment at a gas station and well-deserved holidays in Ibiza and the Alps. Directed by the “Swiss Roger Corman”, Erwin C. Dietrich, the evergreen hit from our Socialist past and the once notorious erotic Kino Sloga is bursting at the seams with zany humour, mechanical invention, and healthy minds in oh, such healthy bodies.
