- EXOTIQUE, 2015 (France)Philomène, a Parisian teenager of African origin, loves Bastien, a guy in her class. But with her frizzy hair, she doesn't feel she has the weapons of seduction to challenge all those girls with sleek hair. So she gets a weave. Philomène lives this 'capillary change' as a metamorphosis.With a dexterous touch, 'Exotic' explores issues of integration, standards of beauty, othering, and micro-aggressions in a sweet rather than an in-your-face way, making it a tragi-comic delight.Director: Soraya MillaLength: 18 minWhere and when: Deptford Cinema, Saturday 2 December, 16:00 - screened alongside Toprak and El Futuro PerfectoPrice and tickets: £4.50-6, buy a ticket here
