Experimental video/filmmaker and now television writer/producer (Cold 
Case) Veena (Cabreros) Sud made one of the best pieces I've ever seen on 
the complexities of single motherhood, in this case her own experience 
as the mother of a young son, the  short  /Stretchmarks/ 
(1996)--partially responsible for her Rockefeller Media Arts award. It 
used to be  distributed by Third World Newsreel and Women Make Movies, 
but  is not currently listed  in either of their catalogues. Check :  
<http://mediaartists.org/content.php?sec=artist&sub=detail&artist_id=211>  
or <http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0127894/>

If you can track it down, it's definitely worth seeing.

Best,
MR

Whereas I encountered several avantgarde films that, often made by men, deal with the pregnant body and childbirth, I'd be more interested in autobiographic forms of film and video where the filmmaker herself thematizes her maternal body (not exclusively the pregnant body); especially in works from the last 2 decades.
