Cipka (Pussy)

The blurb: A young woman spends the evening alone at home. She decides to have some sweet solo pleasure session, but not everything goes according to plan.

This very simple but fun animated short plays with the idea of a disembodied vulva and the unexpected pleasure one might gain from it. I like the up-front way the animator has depicted female masturbation – and the problems that arise when things aren’t quite right. The film played at the Sundance Film Festival.

The animator told Director’s Notes: “I wanted to make erotic film and when I started doodling and thinking I really quickly got an idea to make a film about masturbation. The pussy character naturally appeared in my drawings and sketches and I thought this can be a funny, relatable erotic comedy but also more general story about liberation.”
