Her Infinite Variety
90 minutes, At the Lodge
#HerStories, 550 Main St. - 2nd Floor
What’s exciting about the work of women directors in the Festival this year is the range of narratives and storytelling styles. Many are pushing boundaries; others look to recover our humanity. Sexuality abounds, as do coming-of-age stories (by both youth and adults). But these women’s films are distinguished by their fully realized, contemporary, self-possessed female characters. Join Eliza Hittman (It Felt Like Love), Jerusha Hess (Austenland), Lake Bell (In a World…), Lynn Shelton (Touchy Feely), Naomi Foner (Very Good Girls), and Stacie Passon (Concussion) with moderator Sharon Swart to see what, if anything, unites them.
