Girls Will Be Girls

Southeast Premiere!

In a strict boarding school nestled in the Himalayas, 16-year-old Mira discovers desire and romance. But her sexual and rebellious awakening is disrupted by her mother who never got to come of age herself. Set against the backdrop of a modern India still rooted in conservative patriarchal traditions, this stellar debut feature won the World Cinema Audience Award and a Special Jury Award for Acting at Sundance 2024, along with the Grand Jury Award for Best Feature at this year’s Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles.

  • “A resonant and impeccably written film on generational female awakening, mother-daughter affection and rivalry, and bodily autonomy, Girls Will Be Girls is exactly the kind of feminine coming-of-age film (for any age) that we need more of.”
