Stories of Her

How does legendary actress Jane Birkin reveal her many faces under the lens of French New Wave icon Agnès Varda? Filmmaker Singing Chen holds intimate conversations with 30 women, listening as they share stories about their bodies—stories that are often unspeakable, unheard, or never before told. Director Huang Hui-chen turns the camera on her mother, capturing what seems to be an ordinary “conversation” between them. Another filmmaker begins with the passing of her aunt, and through interviews with her mother and grandmother, uncovers untold narratives of the women in her family. These films trace the hidden textures of female experience—tender, raw, and deeply human.
