[demmiblue]

About: Supervenus es el corto de Frédéric Doazan ganador del 17º Festival de Cortos de Bruselas.

Con este cortometraje el autor denuncia la sociedad occidental que impone unos cánones de belleza incompatibles con la salud física y psicológica.

Se promueven trastornos como la anorexia y la adicción a la cirugía estética y la dismorfofobia tanto en hombres como mujeres.

Se trata de imponer las exigencias de la imagen y el cuidado físico buscando la eterna juventud.

Google translation (not perfect, but it provides the gist of the commentary): Supervenus is short Doazan winner Frédéric 17th Brussels Short Film Festival.

With this film the author claims that Western society imposes standards of beauty inconsistent with the physical and psychological health.

Disorders such as anorexia and addiction to cosmetic surgery and body dysmorphic disorder in both men and women are encouraged.

It is imposing its image and physical care seeking eternal youth.
