Your Name in Cellulite
A film by Gail Noonan
Canada, 1995, 6 minutes, Color, VHS/35mm
Order No. W99505
A wickedly funny satire about the disparity between a woman's natural beauty and the ideal promoted by the mega-billion dollar advertising industry, this animated film shows us how far we will go to change the shape of our bodies to meet the demands of an impossible image. But the picture-perfect exterior can be maintained by our heroine only if she restrains her body's natural spontaneity. YOUR NAME IS CELLULITE visually ponders at what point the body will say "Enough is enough!" and take matters into its own hands.
