00:02 I am Shuchi Talati, the writer and director
00:08 of the feature film Girls Will Be Girls, which will
00:11 premiere at Sundance 2024.
00:14 The film is set in India, where I grew up,
00:18 in a very, very strict boarding school with a lot of rules.
00:25 No holding hands, no sitting next to boys, no short uniforms.
00:32 The school that I went to had a lot of the same rules.
00:36 Not that we always followed them.
00:40 And nor does Meera, the protagonist of our film.
00:46 And this gets her into a lot of trouble at school
00:50 and also at home with her young mom, who finds out
00:56 about things she's up to.
00:58 The film is sexy.
01:02 It has mountains.
01:03 It has dancing.
01:05 It has cool '90s things like Walkmans and internet cafes.
01:10 Less cool '90s things like fashion.
01:14 And it has girls, both in front of and behind the camera.
01:21 And you should go watch it.
