The curated streaming service MUBI and Italian high-fashion brand Miu Miu have partnered to make In My Room available to stream worldwide, shortly after its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival. In My Room, created and directed by Mati Diop (Atlantics) during confinement, is the twentieth short film in the ongoing Women’s Tales series.
“When Miu Miu proposed to me to make a film for Women’s Tales during confinement, in the midst of a health and social crisis, I thought it was a very delicate exercise but also a challenge that confronted me with essential questions about my practice as a filmmaker,” said Diop. “What story can I tell now, with minimal means, alone in my studio, that resonates with what the world is going through while being intimate?”
Since 2011, Women’s Tales is an ongoing series of short films commissioned by Miu Miu and directed by today’s most distinctive female filmmakers, who invent beautiful, strange worlds inhabited by women’s idiosyncratic imaginations. With a brief to look both critically and lovingly at femininity in the 21st century, these short films embrace the many complexities and contradictions that make up women’s experiences today. The full Women’s Tales collection, which also includes work from Agnés Varda, Chloë Sevigny, Haifaa Al-Mansour, Ava DuVernay, and Lynne Ramsay, is available in the MUBI LIBRARY.
