The body has long shaped women’s lived experience - not just biologically, but as a site where power, desire, memory, and cultural anxiety converge. This programme features East and Southeast Asian women filmmakers who explore the body as a space of desire, vulnerability, identity, and inheritance. Through animation, experimental work, and fiction, their films reveal pressures felt both intimately and culturally, creating space for expression, resistance, and imagination.
The Knot Collective is a newly established film club dedicated to showcasing independent works that centre the narratives of East and Southeast Asian women and non-binary individuals, using cinema as an act of collective reflection and cross-cultural dialogue that weaves stories into the fabric of diasporic identity and shared cultural memory.
