Event Description

“When I grow up, I’ll be a girl.” — Sasha Sasha, a 7-year-old boy who has lived as a little girl since the age of 3, stands at the heart of Petite Fille, Sébastien Lifshitz’s intimate and unflinching portrait of identity in transition. Through Sasha’s daily life and the fierce love of his mother Karine, the film traces a family’s emotional journey against the tide of societal misunderstanding. With gentle observation and unwavering empathy, the film reveals the courage it takes to be seen — and to be loved — as who you truly are. The film screening will be followed by a discussion facilitated by artist Nat Francis. This event is in collaboration with the Alliance Française Bangalore and part of their series ‘Femme: Beneath the surface’, which aims to spotlight an emerging generation of French storytellers, each dissecting characters that embody the idea of a woman – layered, disoriented and probing. Set against the backdrop of contemporary France – where questions of class, identity, and belonging remain urgent and unresolved – these films trace the quiet resistance and raw introspection of women thrown into complex situations. This film is in French with English subtitles This session is conducted as part of our engagements for the MAP Youth Collective. The MAP Youth Collective is a community for young people (18-25 year olds) to engage with the arts and culture sector. The collective is for, of and by young people — to explore our shared identities and interests through art.
