Two children looking off into the distance against a semi-lit sky
Name Me Lawand (D: Edward Lovelace)

Identity is at the heart of the Intersection program, with films that consider who we are and how we interact with the world. Examining the struggles and triumphs within various communities helps us to better understand ourselves and others.The docs in this program look at the overlap of identities. An intersectional perspective does not reduce someone to a single label. Instead, it looks at the identity of an individual or a community as nuanced and complex creating a more fulsome picture of who they really are.

Thank you for your interest. Bookings are now closed for the 2024 Intersection program.
