Director Statement

Through her experimental film work entitled "Si Merah" as a final project at bachelor degree of art, Shelvira redefines how the role of women between generations affects the "power of being a woman in the future". Through the exploration of gestures and artistry dominated by the color red, involving other women in front of the camera and 30 other women during the research process to post-production, Shelvira invites the women involved to jointly reinterpret how women in the future and work together with women in the film industry.
