MV INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL: MY LOVE AFFAIR WITH MARRIAGE

Director Signs Baumane will join us in person for a discussion after the film.

From an early age, songs and fairytales convince Zelma that Love would solve all her problems as long as she abides by societal expectations of how a girl should act. But as she grows older something doesn’t seem right with this concept of love: the more she tries to conform, the more her body resists. A story of inner-female rebellion.

My Love Affair With Marriage is an independent animated feature film by Signe Baumane created for an adult audience. The film, a Latvian – USA – Luxembourg co-production, took seven years to make and was financed with the help of 1,685 individual donors along with grants from arts and cultural institutions.
