My Bellybutton has Changed Today<\/strong>
by Clara and Manon Baj<\/h2>\n\n\n

synopsis<\/h2>

Aujourd\u2019hui mon nombril a chang\u00e9<\/em> (My bellybutton has changed today) is a poetic audiovisual correspondence between two sisters, both artists, who underwent abortions one year apart, almost to the day. Through a shared language of images, memory, and voices, the film explores the traces left by this experience. Within a mosaic fragmented form, the film is a personal trajectory into family VHS archive footage of their childhood, where the filmmakers raise intimate questions about motherhood, distance, privilege and silences.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n
