Echo & Narcissus

Spoken word animated examination of female identity by Anna Ginsburg

A film for the charity Breast Cancer Now, "A Love/Hate Relationship". A bold aesthetic for a series of relatable moments.

Our story begins with our heroine breaking up with her obnoxious boyfriend; what should be a moment of liberation instead transforms her from a regular thirty-something into a hag with snakes for hair. Hag battles society pressures, inner longings, and the tick of her own biological clock. She searches for love and meaning in a hellscape of waning fertility, dating apps and the rotten stench of the patriarchy. In this surreal South London, Hag's journey becomes mythical as her despair crystallises into a quest for answers, and she must face the ultimate test! In a world where being true to yourself makes you monstrous, what is the cost of compromise and repressing your authentic self?

A refreshingly open talk about vaginas, sexuality and all that other stuff we often blush over.

'Typically' for Bloody Good Period directed by Anna Ginsberg and Caitlin McCarthy with Strange Beast and Mother London. The #NoShameHere campaign aims to remove the secrecy and shame which surrounds periods. #Typically follows the period experiences of a diverse group of people who menstruate in an upbeat celebration of period realities.

Commissioned by CNN to launch their global series on beauty, the film is an examination of the changing (but never ending) pressures on women to conform to body shape ideals.

Anna Ginsburg composes an ode to a woman who sat next to her on the bus.
