How can you continue to create when you can barely feed yourself? Alex Anna presents their film _Scars_ at a sunlit festival, but behind their apparent success hides a ceaseless fight with their own mind. Expressing the brutality of loneliness through a poetic act of cinematography, _Create; survive_ confronts our virtual and public identities against the intimate reality of depression.
Inside a shelter, participants in a talking circle share their experiences of intimate partner violence as a way to regain their dignity and strength to act. Powerfully empathetic, _Afterwards_ creates a space of sisterhood and solidarity—a chorus of voices breaking down the walls of silence.
