SHORT ANIMATION PERIOD DRAMA WILL BE PRESENTED AT EUROCONNECTION

Michaela Mihályi’s upcoming animated film Period Drama will be presented in January at the Clermont-Ferrand International Film Festival at the Euroconnection, which showcases the best shorts from individual countries suitable for co-production.

Period Drama is a short animated film composed of four chapters, with plot points referencing the biological events that occur during the phases of the menstrual cycle. Menstruation connects the vignettes like a secret thread. Through the humorous gaze of a character, the film analyses menstruation’s essential and often baffling presence in life. While commenting on adolescence, gender politics, sexuality, motherhood and Orlando Bloom, she takes us on a surreal trip that begins with her first period and continues as she, much like an egg, matures.
