Saturday’s film programme kicks off with our FLINTA session, honouring Female, Inter-sex, Non-binary, Trans, & Agender filmmakers.
For Those Who Roam embodies the spirit of the selected films for this session, featuring adventurous and vibrant moments of escapism as well as reflective, meaningful storytelling, across multiple genres.
This session highlights cathartic eye tests, a period piece romance, and two moving documentaries capturing the process of transforming something simple into a beautiful, uncontrollable thing.

success on her terms, proving that a meaningful life is built one piece at a time.
