I want to be weird (2015)

Also Known As: -
Year of first release: 2015

Actors: -
Country: GB, IS
Genre: Documentary
Conditions of visioning: 07.11.2015, KoKi, NFDL2015, English version
Synopsis: Kitty von-Sometime is a British artist who has lived in Iceland for seven years. She is mostly known for 'The Weird Girls Project', an ongoing art event only for women. Each project is a single episode which is unique and has it's own concept. Kitty chooses a group of women to participate for each episode but one of the main goals of the project is to increase the women's self-confidence, strengthen their body image and encourage them to release their inhibitions.
Review: The main interest of this documentary is to have a view on what kind of project this is. Through more or less artistic projects the selected women gain self-confidence via acceptance of one's self. And this social goal is met quite well. The projects are well organised and based on the work of all the participants. I like it. 
For those who could and should be inspired by that, please have a look there.
I expected the documentary turned more on the women' emancipation while it focuses rather on the life of Kitty. Therefore I am a bit disappointed, just because I am missing something in the movie. 
Rating: 4 /10
