PODCAST | Chiara Nicoletti interviews Tijana Zinajić, director of the film Bitch, A Derogatory Term for a Woman.

Slovenian director Tijana Zinajić’s debut feature film Bitch, A Derogatory Term for a Woman has been defined as a millennial dramedy. The film is screening at the 2022 Sydney Film Festival in the section Europe! Voices of Women in film and it follows a floundering millennial struggling with menstruation, rent and inspiration. The director reveals the starting point of the film and talks about how the film depicts and analyzes the rules, stereotypes and prejudices women have to struggle with.

Bitch, A Derogatory Term for a Woman: Colourful flat-mates, indie rock, and druggy adventures abound in Tijana Zinajić’s vibrant debut. Sardonic millennial Eva is stuck in life. Hopelessly in love with her stoner roommate, she’s also conducting an ill-advised affair with a married painter. But worst of all, she’s lost her creative spark. Then, just as Eva and her friends face certain eviction, she discovers her period is late. Bolstered by a charming ensemble cast, Bitch brims with caustic humour and moments of scorching truth about young people caught in the throes of late-stage capitalism.
