SHORTS 5
This session screens a collection of three short films.
Teaches of Peaches
Artist and musician Peaches is a feminist icon leaving an indelible mark on popular culture as proven by this blend of archival gems, interviews and riveting tour footage from her 2022 Anniversary Tour.
Flickering Lights
Chafing against officials' apathy and the absurdly haphazard process of bringing electricity to their tiny town on the India-Myanmar border, the people of Tora are divided. Will electricity bring the close-knit community the progress it hopes for?
Vika!
A charismatic 84-year old Vika is a DJ and a true star of Warsaw clubbing scene. Facing the passing of time, Vika repeats that age is just a number and inspires others to live life to the fullest.
The Jewish Nazi?
Dubbed “The Mascot”, Hitler’s youngest soldier was in fact a Jewish boy who hid his secret in Australia for 50 years before embarking on a rollercoaster ride for his true identity that culminates with a blistering sting in the tail.
Devi
Nepal's Civil War ended in 2006, but not for Devi; rebel warrior, mother and sexual violence survivor. As those in power try to erase rape from the history of the war, Devi has to battle her own demons before she can begin to build a movement to fight for justice.
