Synopsis
Headlined by The Girl with the Haunted Vagina (2023), directed by Samantha O’Rourke and written by Rachel Tookey, the film follows a sexually repressed woman whose attempts to reach climax are repeatedly thwarted by the ghost haunting her vagina. Funny, uncomfortable, and unflinching, the film uses surreal humour to explore intimacy, repression, and self-acceptance.
