WdKA Graduation shorts: Fiction 2: Women in the Lead

Hoezo in KINO

This block brings together women confronting the stories that have been written for them. Through stories that question community, identity, and belonging, these films explore what can emerge when those expectations are challenged. This programme includes Q&A’s with the graduation students moderated by Guido F.G. Jeurissen.
