Although the question of virginity seemed destined to disappear, there is a resurgence of this custom. And yet, physiologically, virginity does not exist. What is it a symbol of in our contemporary world?

Research shows that being harassed on the street is daily business for the majority of women. Hé Meisje (which is best translated into ‘what’s up, girl’) shines light on this issue by portraying four young women from Amsterdam. While we follow them as they move through the city, we listen to their personal experiences with harassment and see how a young artist is dealing with these experiences through her art. Nikki also speaks to four men which she feels close to, in order to figure out how they relate to the topic. Set to the background of the progressive city of Amsterdam, Hé Meisje aims to open up a conversation on the normality of street harassment.

Kite is the moving portrait of four Chinese women across generations. The three young Chinese women — Patrice, Viola and Yuni — allude to the intersection of mental health and one’s experience as a member of the diaspora of Chinese youth. The filmmaker’s grandmother, Suqin, speaks about the Great Chinese Famine sixty years ago and foreshadows the continuation of a collective memory of trauma in a younger generation. The film explores the relationship between time and memory, the shifting definition of health, feminine embodiment, and the question of labels. Kite is an illustration of the weight of time and responsibility, a testament to the never-ending nostalgia and regret, yet it is also a hopeful portrayal of the possibilities of changing and becoming. While witnessing how four Chinese women in different generations have responded to pain, the film also spotlights their resilience when facing overwhelming social and bodily constraints.

A film by Oscar nominees Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering, and first reported by The New York Times, On the Record presents the haunting story of former A&R executive Drew Dixon, whose career and personal life were upended by the alleged abuse she faced from her high-profile male bosses. The documentary follows Dixon as she grapples with her decision to become one of the first women of color, in the wake of #MeToo, to come forward to publicly accuse hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons of sexual misconduct. The film chronicles Dixon’s story, as well as those of fellow Simmons accusers Sil Lai Abrams and Sheri Sher, delving into the ways black women’s voices are too often silenced and ignored.

From the award-winning director of the New York Times Critics' Pick Musicwood, TO KID OR NOT TO KID is a new film that aims to dispel the myth that living childfree is weird, selfish or somehow wrong. In a world where you're threatened for speaking openly about living childfree, two women, from different decades, search for ways to support each other in making the decision to live without kids. Filmmaker Maxine Trump turns the camera on herself and her close circle of family and friends as she confronts the idea of not having kids. While exploring the cultural pressures and harsh criticism childfree women regularly experience, as well as the personal impact this decision may have on her own relationship, Maxine meets other women reckoning with their choice: Megan, who struggles to get medical permission to undergo elective sterilization, and Victoria, who lives with the backlash of publicly acknowledging that she made a mistake when she had a child. TO KID OR NOT TO KID bravely plunges into an aspect of reproductive choice often misunderstood, mischaracterized, or considered too taboo to discuss. With rising public awareness about climate change, resource scarcity and global population, this timely film asks the question "Why can't we talk about not having children?"
