在烟雾缭绕的黑暗桑拿房中，女性们得以分享他们最为私隐的秘密和亲密的体验，洗去那积重于身体里的羞耻感，在交流中重获力量。

In the darkness of a smoke sauna, women share their innermost secrets and intimate experiences, washing off the shame trapped in their bodies and regaining their strength through a sense of communion.

安娜·亨兹是一位拥有当代艺术和实验民谣背景的爱沙尼亚电影导演。安娜深深扎根于南爱沙尼亚的独特文化之中。作为一名活跃的垃圾搜寻员，安娜的纪录短片《明天天堂来临》在爱沙尼亚引发了公众讨论，并推动了反对食物浪费的民间运动的发展。2023年1月，安娜的首部长片《桑拿房的女性私语》在圣丹斯电影节世界电影纪录片竞赛单元首映，并获得导演奖。

Anna Hints is an Estonian film director with a background in contemporary art and experimental folk music. Anna has deep roots in the distinct culture of South Estonia. As an active dumpster diver, Anna’s short documentary FOR TOMORROW PARADISE ARRIVES initiated public discussion and growth of new grassroot movements against food waste in Estonia. Anna’s first feature length film SMOKE SAUNA SISTERHOOD premiered at the Sundance Film Festival World Cinema Documentary Competition in January 2023 and received the Directing Award.

在《桑拿房的女性私语》中，我踏上了一段变革之旅，揭开了隐藏在桑拿房这一神圣空间中那些原始而脆弱的故事，在那里，女性们可以不带评判和羞耻地分享她们的经历。这部影片是对美学、形式和技术方法的一次探索，旨在捕捉这一古老传统的精髓，同时展示女性的团结与力量。

在美学上，我旨在传达桑拿房体验的亲切感和真实性。我有意将镜头对准女性的身体而不是她们的脸，这样可以让观众超越个人身份的障碍，与共同的人性和脆弱性建立联结。这一选择呼应了桑拿房本身黑暗、安全却具备变革力量的性质，在这里，身体成为记忆的景观，女性集体的经历能够被拥抱。

In Smoke Sauna Sisterhood, I embarked on a transformative journey to uncover the raw and vulnerable stories that lie within the sacred space of the smoke sauna, where women share their experiences without judgment or shame. The film is an exploration of aesthetics, form, and technical approach that seeks to capture the essence of this ancient tradition, while fostering a sense of feminine solidarity and empowerment.

Aesthetically, I aimed to convey the intimacy and authenticity of the smoke sauna experience. The decision to focus the camera on the women’s bodies rather than their faces was intentional, allowing the viewers to connect with the shared humanity and vulnerability, transcending the barriers of individual identities. This choice echoes the dark, safe, and transformative nature of the smoke sauna itself, where bodies become memory landscapes, and collective experiences are embraced.
