As a filmmaker and a public health worker, Veronika Reichenberger has combined her fields into this video piece.
“Pregnant. By choice.” is an experimental video that sheds light on real stories of four women who were denied or did not have access to a family planning method (pseudonyms have been used).

Director Statement:

“I believe art and video are powerful mediums to communicate messages and touch viewers. As an editor of documentaries and ethnographic films, I am used to avoiding rough jump cuts and effects, which was a pleasure to be able to explore more creatively in this video.
Additionally, I wanted to portray a cinematographic format that mimics the male gaze, but avoiding any sexualization of the female body; showing a woman’s natural form, with stretch marks and vaginal discharge. I have also incorporating the models’ personal story (about her pregnancy), avoiding having her body in the video as a purely inanimate platform.”
