For its eighth edition, Objectifs’ Women in Film and Photography takes on the theme What We Carry – a layered exploration of self-identity, choices and belonging, and a chance to consider what we might need to release in order to move forward. Artists from across Southeast Asia, South Asia and East Asia present works that draw from their lived experiences, introspective perspectives and personal interpretations of the theme – prompting audiences to reflect on the burdens, memories and connections we hold on to.
The programme includes screenings of A Quiet Load, Camp! Along the Mekong River, and Carnival of Solitude: The World of Qiu Miaojin. Beyond the screen, you can also take part in hands-on workshops to learn intricate paper-crafting techniques and drafting cartographies, or join masterclasses on visual storytelling through photography, where you’ll even have the chance to develop your own photo book.
