Her shorts A Sign, Modlitba, L’enfant perdu, and Diva have been screened at various international film festivals. While in preproduction on a feature, Josephine fell pregnant and the project went sideways. Deciding to take things into her own hands, she wrote the screenplay for Alice and embarked on a journey to bring the film to life.______________________ Ticketing Get the Women in Film 2019 Season Pass to attend all 5 feature film screenings from 2 to 5 Oct at only $35!Standard tickets are $8 per screening.

At the heart of it, such movements are often fueled by anger and frustration at an ostensible lack of political will or means to effect systemic change. Our fifth edition Women in Film presents the Singapore premiere of five international feature films that demonstrate how women filmmakers have created works that speak to local and global concerns, exploring how rage against discrimination, repression and injustice can be channeled into a force for awareness, action and change through art. Co-curated by Leong Puiyee and Kelly Leow. Visit our website for information about the programme: objectifs.com.sg/wifp2019
