A BODY THAT WILL SPEAK (30 min)
[ Filmmaker/s : SUKANYA SEN & PAWAS BISHT ]
[ Theme : Gender & Sexuality ]
[ Add Comment ]
A filmmaker, a university student, an entrepreneur and a radio jockey. Women, who feel hungry, eat, grow fat and feel anxious about it. A film about not being perfect. A film about the never ending attempts to make the body "speak for the self in a meaningful and powerful way." A journey to move beyond disorders and discover the real women battling the fantasies around and within them.

[ Filmmaker/s : DIVYA SACHAR ]
[ Theme : Gender & Sexuality ]

A Short Story About… is a look at how some urban Indian women view their breasts. Affected by other’s perceptions, the women in the film mostly find themselves looking at their breasts through a male perspective. Whether in the form of media images of impossible perfection, or an adolescent need to gain male approval and attention, or just the opposite, to repel male advances, the male gaze is ever present in one form or the other.

Shot in Kolkata, the film explores the experience of growing up gender variant and not being able to understand, let alone explain the difference. The experience of a world where there is 'no one quite like me' is an intensely lonely, fractured and troubled one.

A poignant journey with Tista Das -a person in conflict with the accepted gender stereotype, a person abused and victimised for her very predicament. The film walks with Tista as she triumphs in freeing her feminine soul, curiously trapped by nature in the body of a man.

[ Theme : Gender & Sexuality ]

The film looks at how a woman�s menstrual cycle is altered from being a marker of her fertility to something that renders her untouchable and hence subject to multiple taboos and regulations. As an individual, a woman or young girl is isolated in her struggle to come to terms with the transformations in her body.
