Short description

"Amazon Woman" is a film about the everyday adventures of an Amazon Woman. It is a surrealistic film contributing to the long tradition of head-missing magic tricks from a contemporary perspective. This film was made during the lock-down periods in 2020 and 2021. When hearing the title of the film "Amazon Woman," one of the first associations coming to mind is "Wonder Woman," a strong female character fighting for justice and realizing her dreams. In pandemic times, however, "Amazon Woman" stands mainly for a lonely person constantly ordering things from Amazon.com, which completely dominates her life throughout the time. Ordered objects and dependence on their arrival and existence become crucial. As a result, these objects take over the tasks of the mind, which becomes a mere object itself, aimed at just performing actions.
