Homo Feminus
Delving into issues around gender biases, inclusivity, and women's representation in popular media, 'Homo Feminus' explores the social and cultural aspects that shape the way we understand gender, through a series of metaphorical vignettes and intimate stories told from the female perspective. Carried through the intense poetic narrative that is all too relevant today, 'Homo Feminus' challenges the viewer to peel off the layers of myth and collective memory to find the elusive truth at the core of female consciousness, and celebrates women of all ages, races, sizes, and types.
