I AM THAT I AM

Director Audrey Mascina looks at sex and intimacy as a means of empowerment outside of societal limitations

Sex. It’s a fundamental of life that holds influence over more than just sexual wellbeing. A dialogue between bodies, intimacy facilitates emotional and physical expansion, with the power to impact confidence, shape identities, and solidify a sense of self. But while discussions on wellness and self-acceptance grow, sex is left out of the equation. By enabling conversations around sex, we enable questions about its censorship – and why something so normal remains so harshly judged.

With short film I AM THAT I AM, Audrey Mascina looks to acknowledge the constraints put upon sex, directing an exploration of intimacy, and the empowerment it offers beyond the act itself. Positioning sexuality as a point of resonance between different journeys, the film narrows in on sex as a positive force, looking at the sense of freedom it brings as a catalyst for freedom from judgement, and societal restrictions.
