World Premiere

Girl Talk

The director engages in an ongoing conversation with teenager Yu as she comes to terms with the experience of having had her intimate boundaries broken. Yu reflects on how she has been seen and defined, and begins to take back control of her own story. A dialogue built on trust, it empowers Yu to reclaim her own story, transforming from a "gazed-upon" object to an artist with newfound strength.
