Nice Girls Don't Ask
USA2025documentary17'Short Film Competition
The 1950s in America were the time when schools were flooded with educational films aiming to teach girls how to behave and what their role in the family and society was. This story, composed of excerpts from such films only, is not only a look at the past ideals and expectations of women but also a bitter reflection on their contemporary echoes. At the time when women’s rights are once again becoming the subject of political games, the message of these films seems disturbingly topical.
