Pien van Grinsven https://pienvangrinsven.com/about/ Inspired by her own personal experience and that of three other women, Pien Van Grinsven’s Hormonal uses the medium of dance to bring to light the invisible side effects that hormonal birth control can have on people. The twenty-two minute documentary observes a spectrum of physical and psychological effects and if you, like me, have used hormonal contraception at some stage in your life, the narrative will undoubtedly resonate. Hormonal is an evocative and intelligent piece of storytelling that enlightens with its authentic insights and mesmerises with its visual language of movement, all powerfully observed through the female gaze - S/W Curator, Serafima Serafimova FULL REVIEW: https://www.shortoftheweek.com/2024/07/04/hormonal/ CREDITS Actor: Bodine Sutorius Director: Pien van Grinsven Producer: Nynke Bonnema, Stefan Mandersloot DoP: Lola Mooij Sound recording: Freek Vrijhof, Kristian Knoop Sound design: Freek Vrijhof Sound mix: Freek Vrijhof Edit: Sid Zeno Duit Music: Maryana Klochko, Ruben Samama First A.D.: Caylee Nielen, Iris Klein Assistant camera: Sem van der Weijden Gaffer: Maxime Pottuit, Erwin
