While I'm Still Breathing
Synopsis
In a 3 movement narrative, the movie draws the journey through a woman's sexuality, in all its roughness and softnesses. From that little girl inspired by the models painted by Delvaux and Klimt, to her first sensual gestures as a teenager and her experience as a stripper, we gradually see a woman unfold.

Laure Giappiconi, actress and author, La Fille Renne, photographer, and Elisa Monteil, sound creator and performer, form a trio of filmmakers. Working in LomoKino or Super 8, together they create short films that explicitly address bodies and sexualities. Films on film, therefore, with the imperfections and charm that are both old-fashioned and timeless.
