THE SECRET LIFE OF GIRLS: CJFF Youth Media Program
Ragtag Cinema, Big Theatre
Oct. 17, 12:15PM

Filmmakers as young as 8 and from as far away as Sudan (and as close as our own backyard!), this collection showcases some of the best short films created by young women aged 18 & younger. Exploring everything from the hilarious to the heartbreaking to the sublime, all are a testament to the incredible talents of young women everywhere and several of these young filmmakers will be present to talk about their films, as will the coordinators of this program. Many of these shorts were made possible by youth programs dedicated to supporting young filmmakers and we are proud to showcase films from these fellow film lovers: Reel Girls, the European Cultural Foundation, Harvard-Westlake School, True/False Film Festival and UNICEF.
