Laina Barakat LIGHT ATTACHING TO A GIRL (USA, 62 minutes, digital)
Clare is finally eighteen and ready to embrace the newfound independence that comes with it. Her family on the other hand, isn’t quite ready to let go of the little girl she used to be. Feeling trapped, and struggling to find herself at home, Clare embarks on a 2500 mile journey to Iceland. On the way, memories of the past, grief, and freedom collide as for the first time, she is able to make her own decisions. Light Attaching to a Girl poetically drifts through the interior and exterior life of a young woman, just as she takes her first steps to seeing herself and her own story.
