A film by Will & Carly @willandcarly
TITS is a satirical piece that visually celebrates imperfectly perfect breasts in all their wonky, deflated, inflated, blemished and scarred guises. Set against the anonymous ethnographically sourced TITS HOTLINE soundtrack, it highlights the absurdity of sexist male views.
Will and Carly are London based directors whose work focuses on the emotive richness of people and the social and political relationships and practices that they engage in. Through stylised cinematography and visual symmetry, they tackle contemporary issues to raise awareness and inspire change. Their films have won various awards including 1.4, Berlin Commercial, Kinsale Sharks and Vimeo Staff Picks.
The film was conceived one evening whilst watching the Edgar Wright documentary on the weird and wonderful Sparks Brothers. On hearing their 1970’s track “Tits”, I was struck by lyrics which exposed a man’s disappointment at his wife’s breasts no longer being “a source of fun and games” having been repurposed to nourish his new-born son. It made me curious to explore to what extent the male gaze still exists within society today.
