Porcelain Doll is a poetic audio-visual manifesto expressing the myriad ways that people, particularly women, have resisted letting their worth be measured by how ably they serve others. 

​

Some of the footage in the film includes: The Blood of a Poet (1932) by Jean Cocteau, Cinderella or The Glass Slipper (1912) by George Méliès, and The Hallucinations of Baron Munchausen (1911) by Georges Méliès among others.​​

​

"Shards of ideas blend seamlessly as her mesmerizing audio-visual poem unfolds.​​​​ Livia performs alone on a stage in front of a statue brought to life in Jean Cocteau's The Blood of a Poet. The viewer is then swept into collage of playful resistance with women throughout time encapsulating the sentiment, "I'm a person, not a porcelain doll."

"Delightfully surprising and visually striking, you won't want to miss this viewing experience!"
