Mutant (Spanish: La mutante) is a 2025 Chilean documentary film written, filmed, edited, starred and directed by Constanza Tejo. It documents the emotions and feelings of the director's pregnancy and the impact it had on her career as a cinematographer.
A cinematographer is sidelined from the workforce by a sudden pregnancy. Away from her craft and trapped at homeâÂÂand by household choresâÂÂshe has the foresight to film her metamorphosis into a new way of being a filmmaker and a woman.
Mutant premiered on January 9, 2025, in Chilean theaters, then screened on the 28th of the same month at the 17th Chilean Film Festival, and on April 3, 2025, at the 18th Pordenone Docs Fest.
