Forget Me Not
Director: Isabel Furhovde
Country: Norway
A former fashion model chooses to seek out a man from her past, to confront him with an uncomfortable experience she had at sixteen. Kaja (26) joins Erik (35) back to his apartment after a night out. Erik does not seem to recognise her, until Kaja reveals that they met several years ago. She confronts him about a particular night in a hotel room ten years before, and it becomes clear that Erik does not share the same experience as her. It is not until a glass of red wine spills, and Erik undresses Kaja against her will, that he begins to realize the impact of his actions. His facade crumbles, and a sense of regret emerges. Kaja grabs her things and disappears out into the cold night air where she is finally able to regain her breath.

Dear Men
Director: Scarlet Morrow
Country: UK
TW mentions of sexual assault and rape. Morrow reflected on the reality that every woman she knew could write a list of their unwanted experiences with men. She describes the multiple times she has been treated unfairly by a man, from being catcalled to being sexually assaulted. Although she uses her own experiences, she is certain that many people will be able to relate to the fear of just walking home. Morrow hopes to open up the conversation to remind those that are a victim of men’s power, we do not have to normalise certain behaviours anymore.
