The 2008 festival features narrative and documentary works that frame women’s embodiment in military culture, plastic surgery, popular culture, dance and poetry, pregnancy, cultural expectations, and historical intrigue. Several of this year’s films are poignant coming-of-age tales that illuminate how women balance these challenges as they enter adulthood.
