Women Make Waves International Film Festival x Leatai

Introduction:
Beyond Control – Control was once a shackle but is also a new stance.
“Nothing scares God and men more than losing control over women.” – By Mary Daly.
This year’s Women’s Film Festival features the theme “Beyond Control,” showcasing how women seek and understand control through various sections, using the soft medium of art to express this powerful spirituality.
“Me Too: The Face of Sexual Violence” is a revealing mirror for the “Time’s Up” and “#MeTooMeToo” movements.

Many people are unaware of their control over their lives, believing they are becoming who they want to be when, in fact, they are becoming who others want them to be.
On their journey to become better versions of themselves, girls are often influenced by others’ expectations, which is a form of control.
They are living unconsciously as what others desire is a form of bondage.
The vaginal imagery symbolizes not being subjected to sexual control and not using the body to please others in exchange for moments of false validation and proof of existence.
