Hysterical Sisters

The narrative short film Hysterical Sisters by Chiara Schreder is about raising awareness, destigmatizing and de-tabooing the two chronic diseases adenomyosis & endometriosis.

These two diseases are portrayed by two sisters who make the everyday life of the sufferers unbearable. The two sisters are portrayed by the actresses Christina Laas-Smulik and Janine Hickl.

The short film was realized in collaboration with the entire boxquadrat team:
Lauren Klocker took on the role of DOP in the production of the short film and was responsible for image design & scenic resolution. Jakob Grill served as First AC on the set, Felix Kirsch dubbed the film in post-production and did the final sound mix. Philipp Schulz accompanied the entire production as Behind the Scenes photographer and created photo content for the online presentation of the project on website and social media.

The realization of Hysterical Sisters was financed with the help of a crowd-funding campaign on the online platform wemakeit.com.

The virtual premiere of the narrative short film took place on December 18, 2021, as part of a moderated program with informative discussion sessions, to which experts in diagnostics & therapy of the two diseases were also invited.
