Seen & Heard
Celebrating the young women who are reclaiming their coming-of-age stories in cinema.
This collection showcases authentic coming-of-age portraits while exploring snapshots of growing up in different cultures across the globe. Some of these stories are extreme, others are completely grounded in everyday realities for young women. Here there are no mean-girl cheerleaders, precocious Lolitas or magical makeovers, just searing, realistic portrayals of complex, adolescent young women experiencing the intense pleasures and pains of growing up.
- Kimberley Sheehan, season programmer.
