A kaleidoscopic film, both essay and visual poem, « Magic Mirror » sets Claude Cahun's black and white clichés in motion, in a choreography of magical and dream-like living tableaus, along with extracts from her collection « Confessions Denied ». A tribute to the moving power of the impressively modern work of this surrealist lesbian artist, a feminist and queer before her time.
In this parody of “Festival of Beauty”, Leni Riefenstahl’s film on the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, the different bodies offer a different aesthetic of beauty and the erotic.
