Delhi based Jagori, a women's training, documentation, communication and resource centre presents Chromosome: gender under the lens, a film festival to bring out the nuances of what gender means to us in our daily lives.
Gender may be understood as the watertight "boxes" that women, men and those who do not identify themselves as either, are forced into as a result of their biology, in order to fulfill societal notions of "femininity" and "masculinity".
The focus of the festival will be the theme of "self and identity" under the overarching theme of gender.
The two-day film festival will be held from September 20-21, 2008 at Siri Fort Auditorium, New Delhi.
The event hopes to showcase films that raise uncomfortable questions about gender roles and behaviours, and demand answers about what is "normal" and "expected".
Audience would be welcomed to engage with these issues and - possibly - challenge their own myths and prejudices.
