DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Greta Gerwig United States

Her films like *Lady Bird* and *20th Century Women* intimately explore the physical and emotional self-consciousness of adolescent girls navigating identity and belonging.

 Céline Sciamma France

Her films *Portrait of a Lady on Fire* and *Tomboy* delicately engage with adolescent body image, desire, and the struggle between self-perception and societal expectation.
