A selection of the most diverse and extraordinary talent by women from developing countries – ranging from sensitive and hard-hitting innovative animation about rape in South Africa to slick and engaging Thai drama…

Mon Beau Sourire
(Angèle Diabang Brener, Senegal, 2005, 5')

Where do Senegalese women get their beautiful smiles? Mon Beau Sourire observes the ritual of gum tattooing, punctuated by the tap of the djembe.

Printed Rainbow
(Gitanjali Rao, India, 15')

A big city. A tiny apartment. There, in solitude, an old woman and her cat rummage through their collection of match-boxes.

And There in the Dust
(Lara Foot Newton and Gerhard Marx, South Africa, 2004, 7') UK Premiere

This profound film conveys the complexities of a small sweltering town burdened by an unspeakable act of violence. Shamed by the travesty, the storyteller lures the audience into Baby Tshepang’s world.

 

Mare Capoeira
(Paola Barreto, Brasil, 15')

Sport, dance or martial art? This graceful Brasilian film tells the history of Capoeira through the eyes of 10-year-old Jaõ, last in a long line of Capoeira masters.

Graceland
(Anocha Suwichakornpong, Thailand, 2006, 17').

One night in Bangkok, Jon meets a mysterious woman. Together,
they embark on a journey to a foreign land – the human heart. Total running time: 60'
