This intimate shorts block unpacks the layered experiences of womanhood and self-image. Sprouting (Dir. Lilitha Baartman | 15 min) centres five South African women as they reflect on the personal, cultural and economic weight of navigating Eurocentric beauty ideals through their hair, finding strength in self-acceptance. Am I the Skinniest Person You’ve Ever Seen? (Dir. Eisha Marjar | 24 min) is a tender, auto-ethnographic reflection on girlhood, eating disorders, and healing, as two sisters confront the painful legacy of body image obsession and the quiet resilience it takes to love oneself.
