More Fat Women on Film

[livejournal.com profile] shryve just let me know about the Fat Female Film Festival, which is currently taking submissions (until mid-March) for a festival in Tampa, Florida. This is new to me, but the purpose is to support fat-positive filmmakers, and, in the films section, they mention that Julie Wyman is coming and showing her film, Buoyant, which features the Padded Lilies fat synchronized swim troupe, along with Archimedes' study of floating bodies and the dry stroke simulator, for swimming out of water.

I met Julie when she was a student at Amherst College, and I'd bet that she's doing smart, interesting work.
