A new, poetic short film placing violence against women at its core has recently been launched by London-based Master alumna Sunny-Lee van Dijk. The film — created with minimal financial resources — draws inspiration from the United Women campaign Orange The World and offers a powerful, unconventional look into the often invisible reality faced by women across the globe.
The production focuses on the silent yet powerful network of warnings shared among women. This signalling language — sometimes subtle, sometimes urgent — forms the orange thread of the film and illustrates how women protect one another in a world where violence against them remains commonplace.
Told from a surprising and almost intimate angle, the film offers a narrative that is both confronting and inspiring. Through poetic imagery and strong symbolism, it creates an immersive, unsettling viewing experience that urges audiences to stop looking away.
An ode to strength, vulnerability and solidarity
Despite its modest budget, the film is visually rich and emotionally profound. The creators demonstrate that meaningful social impact does not depend on large financial means, but on a clear message and artistic conviction.
The short film highlights the urgent need to make violence against women visible, to keep the conversation alive, and to fight it. It aims to raise awareness and invite dialogue, reflection and change.
Call to media and the public
Press, organisations and the public are invited to watch the film, share it and become part of the message: looking away is no longer an option.
