11:00 am PSBT FILM A BODY THAT WILL SPEAK Sukanya Sen & Pawas Bisht, 30 min (Followed by discussion with the Filmmakers) A film about not being perfect. A film about the never ending attempts to make the body 'speak for the self in a meaningful and powerful way'. A journey to move beyond disorders and discover the real women battling the fantasies around and within them. Fantasies, unsparing and hard, staring down at them, telling them that 'they are never quite there, that they should be trying harder'.
