How do memory, generational wounds, and myth shape feminist storytelling? Filmmakers are increasingly tapping into the rich tapestry of cultural mythology, and personal and family memories, weaving them into narrative and documentary works that address systemic injustices. From intimate encounters between best friends in a beauty parlour to the haunting memories of accused witches, the filmmakers on this panel have presented us with the complex and rich inner landscapes of their female protagonists. The panel will explore how personal, cultural and political contexts shape the narrative creation of filmmakers who tell women’s stories.
