What happens when silence cracks open? In this lineup, women and gender non-conforming  filmmakers confront medical gaslighting, ancestral grief, stolen desire, and memories that refuse erasure. Fierce and unflinching, these films show that truth has a body — and it bleeds.

We like to punish things that don’t fit right. In this lineup, outsiders and misfits retreat into cocoons, wrestle with haunting relationships, navigate the weight of migration, and move between worlds that never fully embrace them. Tender, raw, awkward, and defiant — these films embrace the excessive.
