Female Voices at 19th Beldocs: Between Body, Memory, and Freedom
This program selection brings together films that, through various documentary and hybrid approaches, reflect on female experience across a wide range, from the intimate spaces of the body and memory, through personal traumas and healing processes, to the social and political frameworks in which identity, freedom, and resistance are shaped. What they have in common is the insistence on the female voice as a site for articulating personal and collective experience, but also as a space for questioning visibility and power.
