Women’s Film Screening: “A Woman’s Body”

Through the lens of diverse filmmakers, delve into profound narratives that encapsulate the essence of womanhood.

With the theme of “A Woman’s Body”, this curated selection of five international films and four Malaysian films by female directors seeks to focus on the Asian female perspective, shatter stereotypes and biases, and reveal the lived truth of inequality affecting women today. The female body is not only a physical existence, but the carrier of the social, cultural and political issues that mark it.

Through these screenings, panel discussions and post-screening Q&A sessions, we seek to expand the horizons of local audiences and provide a space to amplify historically ignored voices. This space fosters open dialogue and in-depth exchange, delving deep into issues like bodily autonomy, gender equality, and workplace challenges. We hope you will bear witness to the power of cinematic art as a force of cultural resistance and resilience, paving the way for an inclusive society that celebrates differences and stands against injustice.
