DANM alumna and FDM lecturer Livia Perez’s film, M is for Mothers (2023), was awarded Best Documentary at the 39th Lovers Film Festival in Turin, Italy. M is for Mothers is a touching and intimate portrait of queer motherhood. According to the jury Livia’s feature documentary deserved the award for its ability to start from the everyday context of a journey toward parenthood to explore more profound and more multifaceted issues; for its delicate yet visceral mise-en-scène; for its strength in affirming the female gaze and experience in the contemporary scenario both politically and cinematically.
