Slut Phobia? (2013) looks into a culture that applauds women who promote their sexiness. It exposes the mechanisms which tempt us to confuse raunchyness with femininity and sexual approval with power.

Femininity and sex are allies in a woman's struggle for approval. In today's world women strive to imitate the sexiest images presented by the media. But at the same time expressing sexuality is not always perceived as something positive and being labeled a 'slut' lies around the corner. For women and especially young girls the line is all too fine and is easily crossed. Where does this ambiguity come from? Is it our Christian double morality and the whore/virgin duality? And how does it affect our personal sexual experiences?

Slut Phobia? is a co-production between Viewpoint Productions, VPRO Television and the Dutch Cultural Media Fund.

Directed by Sunny Bergman. Written by Sunny Bergman and Tamara Vuurmans.
