Chill(s): Caroline Poggi & Jonathan Vinel on their short film The Exploded Girl

Chill(s) :💥 “Where does violence go?”
-
In The Exploded Girl, a 30-year-old woman literally blows up , sometimes seven times a day. A surreal, intimate, and deeply political short film by Caroline Poggi & Jonathan Vinel, selected at Annecy Festival in the Official Competition.

In the first episode of Chill(s) — our new series dedicated to genre films — the duo reflects on loneliness, virtual worlds, and the structural violence that seeps into everyday life.

Written during lockdown, the film grew in resonance with the latest traumatising news and images from Gaza, and asks what happens when that violence becomes internal.

Premiered at Locarno Festival and chosen as the European Film Awards candidate for Best Short Film.

The film is available to watch on Arte.tv
