How I Like It

director: Nida Mehboob
original title: How I Like It
country: Pakistan
year: 2021
running time: 18 min.

synopsis

In Pakistan, the public space is dominated by men. The confidence with which they walk the streets or weight train quickly disappears once they are confronted with female sexuality. Off-screen, several anonymous women talk about their sexuality. The images of the conventional partiarchal society are in sharp contrast to the liberating explicitness of the accounts of clit stimulation, sex with multiple partners, pissing, abortions, and rape.

biography

Nida Mehboob graduated as a pharmacist, but decided to pursue a career as filmmaker and photographer. By documenting the lives of marginalised groups in Pakistan, her native country, she strives to raise awareness of social injustice and gender discrimination. In 2020, she participated in the Berlinale Talents programme of the Berlin International Film Festival.
