Self-approval, coming-of-age, hard choices. At the 60th Krakow Film Festival the voice of women is very distinctive; they are not afraid to talk about often difficult experiences concerning their own bodies. <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are young, beautiful and proudly call themselves – fat. The heroines of the film “Fat Front”<\/a><\/strong> are not ashamed of their curves and fight for everyone’s right to accept themselves no matter how they look like and despite the opinions of people who accuse them of promoting obesity. Using social media and events they organise, they try to show others that they’re not alone in their struggle to accept their bodies. An international support group comes to life, but the positive comments are followed by a lot of hate. Under the surface of optimistic mottos and actions, we discover intimate stories from the lives of the women who were surrounded by doubt, lack of understanding and dislike since they were little kids.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lene Marie Fossen, the protagonist of “The Self-Portrait”<\/a><\/strong>, does not want to be “the anorexia icon”, even though photography is for her a form of self-therapy. No matter who is the subject of her photographs – people living on Greek islands, refugees or herself – her works, shocking yet beautiful, become a record of a desperate fight against illness and death. Camera follows the young Norwegian artist mostly through her struggle with herself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
