While I'm Still Breathing
While I'm still breathing is the blurred portrayal of a young woman through three steps of her sexuality.
In a three movement narrative, the movie depicts the roughness and softness of the journey through a woman's sexuality. From that little girl inspired by the painted models of Paul Delvaux and Klimt, to her first sensual gestures as a teenager and her experience as a stripper, we gradually see a woman unfold. With great intimacy and sensitivity, she reveals herself through the sensual relationship to her own feminity and to those who once shared her intimacy.

La Fille Renne – photographer and tattoo artist -, Laure Giappiconi – actress and author – and Elisa Monteil – sound designer and performer -, form a film-making collective. Their research revolves around explicit representations of desire and takes various forms, at the crossroads of dissident poetry and visual performance. They are committed to highlighting bodies, identities and sexualities that are outside the usual normative representations. They develop a singular aesthetic, shooting exclusively on film, LomoKino or Super 8, fixing timeless, feminist and queer images in these layers of chemistry. In each film, the sound creation allows us to plunge a little further into intimacy and disorder.
They have made six short films: Vivante, Sirène, Amour, Tandis que je respire encore, Les corps dansants, and Fluidité. They have been shown in numerous festivals around the world, from Berlin to Montreal, including the Sundance Festival, the IFF in Rotterdam, Athens, Bogota, Chennai, Lahore, Istanbul, Warsaw…
