Miu Miu is set to unveil the latest installment of its Women’s Tales series this Tuesday, with the premiere of “I am the Beauty of You, I am the Fear of You,” written and directed by Chui Mui Tan. The short film will premiere at 6:00 PM (local time) in Shanghai.
Chui Mui Tan is a Malaysian director and filmmaker, born in the small village of Sungai Ular in Kuantan, Malaysia. In 2006, she shot her first film “Love Conquers All,” which garnered numerous awards at film festivals worldwide.
In this film, Tan delves into the nuanced complexities of “self-defense,” set against the backdrop of contemporary women’s experiences filled with enduring struggles. The protagonist, Geeta, troubled by her past, receives guidance from a sisterhood that teaches her how to fight. Through friendship and support, Geeta harnesses her physical and mental strength, ultimately unleashing endless rage in a powerful confrontation, rendering her invincible against any adversary.
“I am the Beauty of You, I am the Fear of You” marks the 27th work in the Miu Miu Women’s Tales series, showcasing the brand’s commitment to promoting women’s voices in film and storytelling.
To coincide with the premiere, Miu Miu will host a series of discussions and screenings at Yongfu C52 in Shanghai. Guests include director Chui Mui Tan, along with esteemed attendees Sdanny Lee, Jo Kukathas, Mo Jian, Dan Bao, Cao Dan, and Fei Yining. These sessions will explore thought-provoking topics such as “Our Bodies: A Dazzling Tapestry of Mysteries” and “Goddesses, Women, and Femininity – Reshaping Female Narratives,” providing a platform for interdisciplinary discourse and reflection.
