The Heavy Gown - Plan International

A film created for Plan International for the United Nations 'Day of the Girl 2021'. “Lauren Midwinter's restrained approach ensures the film's message lands, as she captures the dynamic and naturalistic qualities of Goksan's performance in arresting fashion. This is a valuable and thought-provoking addition to the Day of the Girl canon” - 5* review - DAVID REVIEWS Young women and girls face a barrage of negative messages from birth. This film turns those messages into a physical object - a dress that the central figure discards in layers as her confidence grows. Directed by Lauren Midwinter. Director of Photography Nathalie Pitters
