#poalof survey

[ladyonfire28]

Hi guys !!

The wonderful Heather and two of her friends created a Survey for cis and trans women and non-binary, genderqueer, or agender people who identity as lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, asexual and/or queer who have seen Portrait of a Lady on Fire.

The goal of this completely anonymous survey is to document this community—the large number of us, our ages, all the different countries we live in, and the range of our lesbian and queer experiences. Hundreds of people, from Singapore to Switzerland and from India to Italy, have already taken the Portrait survey.

The study we will complete after we get many more responses will show how important yet little known this queer community is as a film audience!

It would *really* means a lot if you could take a little of your time to complete this survey. We know how impactful the film had on our community and it would be so great to have an actual trace of it with numbers and all.

This project means a lot to me but even more to the creators of it. You would help tons if you could participate to this project!

So please take the survey and share the link after to encourage others to take it, too 🙏🏼

Have a lovely day y’all ❤️

"I felt like someone had understood the exact mixture of emotions that can come with discovering you're gay--anguish because now you understand that you may be held apart from society, or who you thought you'd be, or other people's hopes for you--but also pride, acceptance, power, and deep connection to your own true capacity for love."

"I want you to remember that page 28 was a blank page at the end of an old book. And that's where the artist decided to draw herself, naked and fearless."

- Céline Sciamma

Happy 28th! A reminder that our survey on the impact of Portrait on the lesbian and queer community has been extended to Jan 28, 2022. Please help us reach more folks by reposting our survey.

Thank you.

Music and Desire

"I wanted to make music a part of the characters' lives, as a rare, desired, precious, unavailable thing. And [to] put the viewer in the same condition." - Céline Sciamma What have you noticed about your reaction to the music in the film?

Take our survey before it closes, the last day to do so is Jan 28! Thank you.

I've just received six months' worth of fan mail from all over the world, mostly from women. Some are very young, and some are very old. It's been really intense...It's not just about the film, it's about the politics of it.

- Céline Sciamma

Céline knows the global effect of Portrait from her fan mail alone. But wouldn't it be great to show her a systematic summary of who we are? Of where we live, our ages, our engagement with cinema (her great love), our life experiences? Help us reach that goal with our survey--take it if you haven't and please reblog and repost. Don't wait too long, it closes after Jan 28!

"my heart broke into 1000 pieces in the last 10 minutes of the movie"

Same, anonymous respondent, same.

Don't miss your chance for your heartbreak (and healing) to be included in our survey on the impact of Portrait on the lesbian and queer community (it will close at the end of January 2022).

“Sciamma imagined a world I didn’t know I was longing for. A place with radical equality.

We're happy to share the interim findings of our survey respondents' top lesbian/queer films. While 'Portrait' and 'Carol' are securely in first and second places, there has been a slight rearranging of the rest of the top 15 films: 1. Portrait of A Lady On Fire 2. Carol 3. But I'm A Cheerleader 4. Imagine Me & You 5. The Handmaiden 6. Saving Face 7. Disobedience 8. Kyss Mig 9. Bound 10. Water Lilies and Desert Hearts (tie) 11. The Half of It 12. The Favourite 13. Booksmart 14. D.E.B.S. 15. Tomboy Shoutout to the lesbian and queer female directors whose films are on the list - Céline Sciamma, Jamie Babbit, Alice Wu, Alexandra-Therese Keining, Lana and Lilly Wachowski, Donna Deitch, and Angela Robinson! Did you note that Alice Wu is the only other director besides Céline Sciamma with multiple films on the top 15 list? Considering that responses are affected by availability of films for respondents, are you surprised by any entry on the top 15--or that a particular film doesn't make an appearance on it? Do you have a hidden gem (or two) that you want to recommend here? Share with us.

Our survey closes after Jan 28, so please complete it. Reblogs and reposts to help us reach more folks are much appreciated. Thank you!

Collaborative creation

Just as the collaborative creation between Marianne and Héloïse changes both women, the collaborative experience of watching 'Portrait' changes both us and the film. - Heather O. Petrocelli How have you changed after seeing Portrait? How has Portrait changed after you saw it? Let us know in our survey.

I was stirred in a way that was beautifully unsettling.

Who Wore It Best or The Delayed Fulfillment of the Green Dress

After seeing the headless portrait, we know to expect the green dress in the portrait to come. Céline playfully presents it to us first as a disembodied shell, then worn by substitutes. Like Marianne, we must make do until Héloïse fulfills our expectation of the dress by consenting to pose.

Don't forget to take our survey please!

"We had to be really present. We had to forget that we were doing a period movie. So we had to create with our bodies. Adèle and I didn't know each other, so we had to create with instinct, also. We had to create with the air, with the wind, all that was around us."

- Noémie Merlant
