OPENING CEREMONY

TRIBUTE TO FEMALE FILMMAKERS

(OUT)CASTE

When a 'manual scavenger' cannot continue her work emptying dry outdoor toilets for upper caste villagers, her 11-year-old daughter must assume the responsibility.

Shilpi Shikha Agrawal

SHORT |  USA, INDIA |  Texas Premiere, 23mins.

LIKE SALT

When living in diaspora turns into a boxing match, one learns to fight with bare knuckles. Hala, an Arab American female boxer in New York City, and Kendrick, an African American jazz musician, improvise their way through a passive aggressive America. While boxing and jazz rely on improvisation, they both have a deep sense of resilience. She's Miles Davis in boxing gloves and he's Muhammad Ali refusing to live a lie.

Darine Hotait

 SHORT | USA | USA Premiere, 25mins.

ENTELECHY

A haunting experimental, docu-musical about global warming and changing the dream. A woman is guided by a dream therapist onto a shamanic journey through the inner and outer worlds of being. Within the dream state she works to shift her dream to a vision of love, and in doing so succeeds in shifting the universal dream as well. It is a film about the state of the world, the destruction of the earth, and a dream of a brighter unified future.
