Big Feminine Energy
Synopsis:
As hyperfeminity comes back in vogue with cultural touchstones like "the year of the girl", "trad wives", "divine femininity", "the soft life", and an explosion of the color pink, there's never been a more poignant time to ask what the term "femininity" really means. Immersing with a diverse cross-section of women to have real, honest, and relatable conversations about what motivates their own expressions of femininity, this thought-provoking film sets out to unpack the complexities around how we form our feminine identities. Traversing stages of womanhood from the teenage girl to the senior citizen, the film goes inside the lived experiences of women in the worlds of fashion, beauty, sports, sexual health, and pop-culture to reveal the complex and nuanced delicate truth around what it means to be feminine. With some laughs, tears, and fun along the way, viewers of all ages will be taken on a highly visual, insightful, and thoughtful journey into the many faces of femininity. The intended result? An offering for viewers to reflect on what it means to express their own identities in a new and authentic light.
