INTRUSION – a short film by Ming-Zhu Hii

Content warning: themes of sexual assault

//

SHE ENTERS THE ROOM.

A fashion editor enters a photographic studio to direct a shoot. A traumatic event has occurred the night before, the details of which are fragmented and unclear.

As the editor processes her experience, she finds herself entering the room again and again, until the memory of her trauma starts to emerge in the body and performance of the model.

//

A stylish and subtle psychological thriller, it examines power and violence in the fashion world, and the obligations on women to perpetuate cycles of violence and objectification of their own and others‘ bodies.

INTRUSION is the second short film from writer/director Ming-Zhu Hii

//

INTRUSION premiered in July 2018 as a Narrative Finalist at Heartland Film’s Indy Shorts International Film Festival, and then went onto screen at LA Shorts International Film Festival at which it won Best Experimental Film.

In November, 2018 INTRUSION was invited to screen in the Special Event Program: „Art in the Time of #MeToo” at Underwire Film Festival (UK).

In April, 2019 it screened in International Competition at Cellu L’Art, Jena, Germany and in July the film received the runner’s-up award in competition at Lorne Film 2019 (Australia).

From 2018 to 2023, INTRUSION was represented for global sales exclusively by Kurzfilm Hamburg:
