Secretprojectrevolution

secretprojectrevolution is a 2013 short film directed by Madonna and Steven Klein, dealing with artistic freedom and human rights. The film launched a global initiative Art for Freedom to further freedom of expression, created by Madonna, curated by Vice and distributed by BitTorrent. The goal of Art for Freedom is to promote and facilitate free expression, and thereby hamper repression of artistic expression.

The film was her artistic response to a series of social and political events which took place around the world while she was performing The MDNA Tour in the second half of 2012. These events included, among others, the threat of Israel striking Iran, the imprisonment of Yulia Tymoshenko in Ukraine and Pussy Riot in Russia, gay rights violations, presidential election in the United States and the assassination attempt of Malala Yousafzai. One of the scenes was inspired by the film The Night Porter, and noted have been similarities in some scenes to the imagery of Eleanor Parker in the film noir Caged. Madonna has described secretprojectrevolution as one of the most important things she has ever done.On December 14, 2012, a picture taken on the set of the project surfaced online, sparking rumors that Madonna was allegedly working on her next music video, which many fans thought would be Gang Bang. On December 19, Steven Klein first referred to the film as secretproject on Twitter, what would serve as its official name. Later that month, he contacted the likes of Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Cher, Dita Von Teese, and Naomi Campbell on Twitter, inviting them to participate in the project. A picture saying From Madonna to Rihannaofwould emerge at the beginning of 2013, followed by a photograph of Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss, with a caption associating them with the project. More pictures from the set surfaced online, and Madonna started to post stills from the film and related pictures on Instagram in March 2013, attributed with a hashtag secretproject, later modified to secretprojectrevolution. ........
