Unbound
A film by Claudia Morgado Escanilla
Canada, 1994, 19 minutes, Color, VHS/16mm, Subtitled
Order No. W99483

UNBOUND is a docudrama in which sixteen women of differing nationalities, races and ideologies free themselves from societal definitions, stereotypes-and the prison of the bra. In the act of unbinding, they speak directly to the camera with humor and insight about the significance of their breasts in their lives and diverse cultures. Presented as a series of brilliantly colored, vibrant tableaux which take off on well-known works by DaVinci, Caravaggio, Velazquez and Kahlo, the film breaks through the constraints of traditional movie making and the censorship of women's bodies.
