All of the films in this screening explore the turmoil of female adolescence, as it is experienced across a range of cultural traditions. These stories strike right at the heart of what it means to exist on the precipice between girlhood and womanhood – and all the pressures, both interior and exterior, that it entails.
There will be a Q&A with the filmmakers in this event.
