Taking The Piss

2024 | 4:05 | 35mm + Digital Animation

Despite their pervading image as a bastion of utter grotesqueness, public bathrooms are a necessary community space. In a society where public spaces are increasingly diminishing under the claws of privatization, bathrooms remain an urban-planning staple. In theory, at least, they are a place for everyone. This film celebrates—in equal measure—the shared horror, community (and dare we say ecstasy?) of the public bathroom.

This film is supported by The Winnipeg Film Group and Manitoba Film & Music.
