HOTPANTS, 15min., Sweden
Directed by Vera Berggren Wiklund
A story about finding your way back to volleyball where the dress code in the sport and self-hatred of the body stands in between. The film is Vera's process (the director) of re-approaching the sport after a break caused by hotpants and body hate. By meeting other young people who have played and plays volleyball, Vera wants to explore how others think about hot pants. Emma, Vera´s friend, who also stopped playing volleyball in her teens follows her through the film and their joint goal is to start playing again, in the clothes they themselves want to wear.
