Film(s) To Be Screened
Distortion (Verzerrung)
Masked figures wander through a surrealistic world, their actions influenced by a central screen. Two groups form, the Diamonds and the Lashes, and tensions gradually increase.
Dear Jane...
Jane (Perla Hedman) and Mike (Pedro Rodrigues) are a young couple with their memories full of love, love that never ends...
Undefined Beauty
In this film, we explore the stories of four girls and how unrealistic beauty standards negatively impact their self image. As these girls attempt to accept their insecurities, they embark upon a journey upon which they learn to love themselves in a healthy manner. Simultaneously, they realize how many people share their struggle with self esteem, and attempt to diversify what is known as beauty.
A Letter To You
In this short documentary, four young women of color face their struggles with beauty standards, and embark on a journey towards self-love and collective empowerment.
The 3As: A Russian Revolution
Beginning in 2017, three Russian figure skaters under the same coach revolutionized women’s singles by making history with their incredibly high-difficulty jumps and record-breaking performances. This story follows three Russian teenagers, Alexandra Trusova, Alena Kostornaia, and Anna Shcherbakova, colloquially known as the 3As, who continue to dominate women’s singles figure skating to this day, and the coach who started it all, Eteri Tutberidze. The 3As have forced the figure skating world to up their game if they want to compete, but are these arduous skills worth the pain and suffering these children must undergo to achieve them?
The Road To Manzanar
Japanese American filmmaker, Christian Lee, documents his emotional visit to Manzanar, one of ten concentration camps in America. He combines harrowing archival footage with visually lush shots of the camp to create an intimate portrait of historical trauma.
Limitless
LIMITLESS is a film about the obstacles women face in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) field, and the importance of increased diversity and equality in STEM fields.
