Short Film Programme: "Save Me While You Can"
From moonlit beaches to the crowded streets of Lahore, from the scarred skin of survivors to the shadow of authoritarian rule, these shorts tell stories of women and girls confronting danger, isolation, and the weight of their own choices. Some navigate quiet, internal awakenings; others face the blunt force of violence, harassment, or political oppression.
Whether tending to fragile plants, confronting corrupt developers, reclaiming a body marked by trauma, or daring to love in the face of death, each protagonist wrestles with the question of how to live and love on her own terms. Poetic, harrowing, and defiantly human, these films reveal that survival is not just about enduring, but about reclaiming the right to shape your own story.
*All films will be screened in their original language with English subtitles.
*There will be a Q&A after the screening with attending filmmakers.
