We Aim to Please

We Aim to Please

Director Robin Laurie, Margot Nash / 1977 / Australia

A landmark feminist experimental film about women’s identities and desire for liberation.

Using the camera both to explore their own bodies and to express their joys, fears and longings, this 1977 short sees Margot Nash (Vacant Possession, MIFF 1995) and Robin Laurie crafting a playful representation of sexuality that radically subverts societal – and cinematic – gender norms.
