Smoke Sauna Sisterhood
“The small, smoky, steamy miracle of this film is how it creates something so intangible, so lyrical, from the absolutely elemental: Fire, wood, water and lots of naked female flesh” - Variety
Yng nghysgod tywyllwch sawna mwg, mae menywod yn rhannu eu cyfrinachau mwyaf mewnol a’u profiadau agos atoch. Trwy ymdeimlad o gymundeb, mae menywod yn golchi’r cywilydd sydd wedi’i ddal yn eu cyrff ac yn adennill eu cryfder. Y rhaglen ddogfen gyntaf gan gyfarwyddwr o Estonia i gystadlu ac ennill yn Sundance, mae Smoke Sauna Sisterhood yn ddull dwys, agos atoch ac syfrdanol o ymdrin â materion trawma, iachâd a chymuned. Wedi’i ffilmio bron fel pe bai paentiad Vermeer neu Rembrandt, nid yw’r camera byth yn ymwthiol, byth yn fecanyddol. Yn hytrach, mae’r delweddau’n symud wrth i’r mwg – yn oedi, yn chwifio, yn atal am gyfnod byr cyn diflannu ac yn ailymddangos. Gyda llais dilys ac awdurdod a aned o’u treftadaeth eu hunain, mae’r gwneuthurwr ffilmiau Anna Hints wedi creu profiad trawsnewidiol o fod yn ddynol o fewn corff benywaidd, gan ddangos menywod “fel y maent” gyda gwirionedd emosiynol mawr ac empathi dwfn.

In the darkness of smoke sauna, women share their innermost secrets and intimate experiences. Through a sense of communion, women wash off the shame trapped in their bodies and regain their strength. The first documentary by an Estonian director to compete and win at Sundance, Smoke Sauna Sisterhood is a deeply moving, intimate and breathtaking approach to issues of trauma, healing, and community. Filmed almost as if a Vermeer or Rembrandt painting, the camera is never intrusive, never mechanical. Rather, the images move as the smoke – lingering, wafting, suspended briefly before disappearing and reappearing. With an authentic voice and authority born of their own heritage, filmmaker Anna Hints has created a transformative experience of being human within a female body, showing women “as they are” with great emotional veracity and deep empathy.
