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.

A look at how some urban Indian women view their breasts. Affected by other’s perceptions, women 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.

ABOUT ELSEWHERE (30 min)
[ Filmmaker/s : PRIYA SEN ]
[ Theme : Conflict , Gender & Sexuality ]
[ Add Comment ]
About Elsewhere seeks to foreground the impossibility of fixing notions of sexuality through ideas of 'identity' and 'language'. As the film moves through the various worlds the filmmaker inhabits, it suggests a self in constant formation; one that constructs itself from parts and places that are in themselves, fragments of memory and experience.

BEING MALE, BEING KOTI (30 min)
[ Filmmaker/s : MAHUYA BANDYOPADHYAY ]
[ Theme : Contemporary Politics , Gender & Sexuality ]
[ Add Comment ]
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.

BEYOND REFLECTION (32 min)

[ Theme : Contemporary Politics , Gender & Sexuality ]

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.

BLOOD ON MY HANDS (30 min)
[ Filmmaker/s : SURABHI SARAL, MANAK MATIYANI & ANANDANA KAPUR ]
[ Theme : Culture & Tradition , Gender & Sexuality ]
[ Add Comment ]
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.
