Clayton Emmer alerted me to this short pro-life film.
This Is My Body is a silent film about a college girl’s passion and sacrifice in the face of dire circumstances. The title cards of the film follow the thematic progression of frivolity to extreme gravity. The film is meant for multiple viewings due to the layers of meaning inherent in its juxtaposing and symbolic images. This Is My Body is a reflection on the nature of body image, the existentialist notion of choice and consequences, the philosophical problem of evil, and the difficulty and beauty of embracing sacrifice in the most harrowing of circumstances.
There is a trailer and more information here.

Hard to know what it’s about and whether it’s an acted out thing (seems so) or a story about a real life situation.
But that first photo of the woman is the position St. Celia was found in after being martyred, I’m pretty sure. The movie looks be interesting. The photography looks great.
Ah, maybe not (on the Saint Cecilia — note corrected name), but it did remind me of that!
Thanks for posting this, Jeff.

It’s fictional / drama.
Not sure about the St. Cecilia allusion. The writer / director has since entered a Carmelite community in California. When I write him via snail mail, I’ll ask him this question.
