CONTENT WARNING:
Arianna is a teenager with emotional and physical insecurities who, unbeknown to her parents, embarks on a quest to discover her sexual identity during a summer trip to the family holiday home on the shores of Lake Bolsano. What follows is a coming of age drama featuring a topical twist, with Arianna attempting to cope with all the typical challenges young girl faces, yet also having to face the realization that her parents have lied to her and that nothing about her life is quite what it seems. Neither prurient nor sensationalist, this debut feature by Carlo Lavagna came out of a documentary he made on a real life case in Italy, but transposed the action to the everyday lives of a seemingly unassuming Italian family. Consequently, Arianna is an arresting, touching and inspiring story, superbly performed, particularly by wonderful newcomer Ondina Quadri, in the title role.
This film is presented in Italian with English subtitles.

Unfolding Beauty

Sat, Apr 09 @ 2:00 pm
Harvard Law School Wasserstein Hall
in person
A genderqueer ugly duckling emerges from the shell of oppression and heartbreak into a sparkling fairytale ​SWANICORN full of hope. It’s back to basics in ​SEXUALITY 101: ​IDENTITY as two young women insolently define their own labels. The magnetic moments of ​BEING SEEN BEING HOME fully affirm a fat femme as the heavenly body that she is. A young woman courageously embraces her perceived flaws ​IN HER EYES. The poetic affirmation of ​#BLACKWOMENSLIVESMATTER shows us how to transform systemic devaluation. An offering under the ​SUNGAZE sparks renewal and growth. A queer Black man on a spiritual journey discovers his path to being ​PROUD & FAITHFUL. ​AU-KNAPPTURAL embraces the beauty that is bald heads and Black hair. A new ​HER/CUT leads to an awkward encounter between old friends. A young queer Asian-American writes ​A LETTER TO MY FATHER within the space of their family restaurant. ​MAMITIS makes a long journey home after years as an immigrant. A bisexual transgender Asian woman celebrates ​JASMINE’S JUBILEE and life’s triumphs. Based on the Samoan word for love ​HIS VISION: PROJECT ALOFA embraces all without judgement. For a trio of queer friends, the expansive magnitude of ​FINDING EACH OTHER draws them into activist community. An Afro-Latina queer couple explores ​DE COLORES, OUR LIVES at the intersection of cultural, sexual and racial identity.
