This program includes exceptional contemporary works in the genre of documentary. From a cannabis farm in Kentucky to a Vietnamese-American mother and martial artist and portraits of Syrian women, these makers describe real-life people through their own stylized lens. The form of Documentary is unique in that it gives filmmakers the ability to empathetically study diverse views on reality, and allows audiences to see the world through another’s perspective. No matter your interests, viewers will find struggle, emotion, and humor within the content of this program.
Total Run Time: 79 minutes
This program will be followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers.
Programmed by Guest Festival Shorts Programmer, Emily Eddy.
Content Considerations: Strong language, implied sexual situations, self-harm, implied violence.
Ten Leaves Dilated is a documentary that uses the make-believe world crafted by Cabbage Patch Kids to examine discourses surrounding childbirth in the South. A household name in the 80s and 90s, Cabbage Patch Kids are plush dolls that are said to be born out of a head of cabbage. The headquarters, located in Cleveland, Georgia, offers an experience where children can watch their dolls being born through a simulated medical birth where store employees dressed as nurses act out birthing a babydoll from a cabbage patch. The film uses audio interviews of mothers, doulas, and birth professionals alongside a visual exploration of cabbage birthing myths and fairytales throughout history in order to investigate the modern-day cabbage patch fairy tale and its connection to the lack of candid discussion about birthing in our society.
